A GRAN bit two Orangemen on the legs during a row after barging her way to the front of a queue for a bucking bronco ride.

Drunken Nicola Saunderson, 38, pushed young children out of the way to get on the fairground attraction.

Saunderson got into a scuffle with two members of the Young Conquerors Orange Band who tried to stop her.

Robert Logan, defending, told Ayr Sheriff Court: “She was pulled to the ground and held there by both men – who were sitting on her.

“That is how she managed to bite their legs.”

The court heard she was highly intoxicated at the fun day in Drongan, Ayrshire, on August 3.

Saunderson, of New Cumnock, admitted assaulting the two men. She also admitted assaulting her ex Derek McCracken and his brother William in Cumnock on June 1.

And she admitted driving without insurance, failing to give a breath test and struggling with four police officers after being stopped in New Cumnock on May 22.

Mr Logan said: “When she is drunk, she gets involved in these situations and gets the worst of it.”

Sheriff Desmond Leslie said Saunderson had 16 previous convictions and jailed her for a total of seven months.
