A beauty therapist has avoided jail after she assaulted five officers, spat at them and even hit one with a 'donkey kick'.
Lucy Theunissen, 35, treated police officers like 'punch bags' in a shocking sustained attack after she caused a blazing row at a Chinese takeaway in Basingstoke, Hants last year.
The mother-of-three walked free from Winchester Crown Court after Judge Rufus Taylor who stopped short of imposing a custodial sentence because of her disabilities.
The sentencing provoked outrage from Hampshire Police Federation, which represents the rank-and-file and criticised the decision not to jail Theunissen.
The court heard Theunissen, a qualified masseuse and beautician, first attacked constables at a Chinese takeaway when 999 was called on her because she was drunkenly abusing customers.
