Crewe Magistrates’ Court was told had been called to Metcalfe’s home on January 31 following reports of an offence at a nearby property.
Nigel Jones, prosecuting, said: “The defendant’s mood and demeanour were up and down. One moment she was calm and the next turned into a rage.
”As so doing, she kicked out at PC Potts making a connection with his left shin causing him pain and discomfort.
”A police van was requested due to her behaviour but she became aggressive again and had to be restrained on the floor. Whilst on the floor she bit PC Pountain on his bottom. A bite is an unpleasant incident for any individual.
“The aggravating factor is these are assaults on police officers in the execution of their duty. ”
Metcalfe’s lawyer Jim Edwards said his client immediately apologised for her behaviour at the time of her arrest.
He added: ”There is an issue is in relation to a previous partner who is in custody awaiting a trial in October for an allegation against my client.”
The was told Metcalfe has a history of heavy drinking but this has been “considerably reduced”.
Sentencing, JP Andrew Kerr told her: “You clearly have mental health issues which may have accounted for your behaviour.
”We hope that the rehabilitative aspect of this sentence will form an element of rectitude moving forward preventing you behaving any further as you have done.”
