The incident took place on the afternoon of Saturday August 10 in the area of Roscoe Street in Scarborough where Sadie Lauren Metcalf, 30 of Beulah Terrace, abused people passing by in the street by shouting offensive and racist remarks at them.
After various reports from members of the public, police arrived at a Scarborough address to arrest Metcalf and were met with abuse, insults, and objects thrown at them from a balcony including a wooden shelving unit and plant pots.
She was arrested at the scene and taken into custody where she was charged and remained until her sentencing earlier this week.
Metcalf appeared at York Magistrates’ Court on August 12 and pleaded guilty to affray and two counts of causing racially aggravated alarm, harassment or distress.
She was sentenced to a total of six months in prison including 26 weeks for affray and eight weeks each for the racially aggravated offences.
In addition, she was also sentenced to six weeks in jail for a separate offence of theft after she admitted stealing from Sainsbury’s on July 6 with all three sentences to run concurrently.
