A WOMAN who urinated in a police cell danced and sang an Oasis song in the dock as she was sentenced.

Sara McHale admitted three booze-fuelled incidents in September and October – which also saw her hold a knife to her own throat in public.

The 38-year-old admitted three counts of being drunk and disorderly and one of criminal damage at Halton Magistrates Court on Monday, November 30 but made frequent outbursts during her sentencing.

When she was told to enter the dock, McHale said: “I’m not going in there, I don’t like it – I don’t want to go in a cage, I’m not a dog.”

The court heard that on September 6, she required medical treatment after drinking in the Bank Chambers on High Street in Runcorn.

The police were called by ambulance staff after McHale, of Devon Place, Widnes, became aggressive and swore, shouted and used foul language.

She was taken to Warrington Hospital where she continued to use foul language and swore at a doctor before she was arrested.

On October 4, she was arrested after being ejected from a pub in Widnes town centre and taken to holding cells on Manor Farm Road in Runcorn where she urinated on the floor.

Just over two weeks later on October 19, a member of the public called the police after spotting McHale holding a knife to her own throat on Castlefields Avenue North, Runcorn.

Officers found her lying in bushes shouting about Osama Bin Laden and making comments about suicide bombers.

The court heard that McHale, who has 22 previous convictions, has a long history of alcohol misuse and emotional issues and has difficulty living from day to day.

Her barrister said that McHale’s outbursts were ‘bravado’.

As magistrates decided what sentence to hand her, McHale covered her face with a scarf and said: “I need a drink – I’m not right in the head.”

She was fined a total of £420 for the incidents.

McHale shouted ‘Saddam Hussein’ as she left the court before dancing and singing Married with Children by Oasis.

She added: “What a waste of money – I’d rather kill myself, I’m being fined for serving my country.”
