A woman claiming to have Covid who spat blood and saliva at polic e, bit an officer on the leg, urinated in the back of a police van, and threatened to assault a hospital doctor was jailed for 18 months today.

Michelle Barr's conduct was condemned as "despicable and disgusting" by a sheriff. Prosecutor Kristina Kelly said police went to Falkirk High Street about 5.00pm on September 25th last year (2021) after CCTV monitoring Barr "alerted them to anti-social behaviour".

Barr, 35, was arrested and then "lunged with her mouth" towards PC Carlie-Anne Spowart and bit her right leg.Ms Kelly said: "She was warned about her conduct and then spat towards PC Spowart.

The spittle landed on PC Spowart's chest."She was placed in a spit hood and into a police van cage, but en route to Falkirk Police Station she managed to remove her spit hood, banged her handcuffs off her seat, repeatedly headbutted the cage, and struck her nose on the corner of her seat, making her nose bleed.Ms Kelly said: "She spat blood and spittle over the van, kicked the cell, shouted incoherently and screamed constantly."She had to be carried out of the van after refusing to leave voluntarily, and spat on the side of PC John Thompson's face.Taken to a cell, she spat on another officer, PC Gillian Mansell, then grabbed her and tried to headbutt her.Placed under constant observation, she shouted at officers, "Just f*** off and leave me alone" and threatened to urinate on the officers.She added, "I'm going to s*** on you as well."Ms Kelly, the depute fiscal, said: "The accused then feigned unconsciousness, which required the officers to move closer to her to check on her.
