Woodward pleaded guilty to common assault, racially aggravated assault and two charges of assaulting a police officer.

Christopher Gabbitas, prosecuting, told Derby Crown Court: "The officers went to arrest Mrs Woodward to prevent a breach of the peace.

"As they went to take hold of her she grabbed a glass of wine, poured it into her mouth and spat it in the face of one of the officers." She was bailed for that offence but on December 27 another call was received and officers again attended.

Mr Gabbitas, said: "Mrs Woodward's husband said he had been punched in the face but did not wish to press charges.

"However, she was arrested and again spat in the face of another officer. She also shouted racist abuse at an Asian officer."

Judge John Gosling told Woodward: "I do not believe you are a racist but when you are drunk you act in a really disgraceful manner.

"But you are doing well on the order that you are subject to at the moment and I want to keep an eye on you.

"You are going to have to take control of this drinking because if you do not, and I see you again I will have to do what I do not want to and send you to prison."

Woodward's sentence was deferred until June 13, when she will appear before Derby Crown Court.

    “Why aren't "Anti-Racists" in ASIA demanding that Asian children be forced to become minorities in their own homes?

    Why aren't "Anti-Racists" in AFRICA demanding that African children be forced to become minorities in their own homes?

    Why is it white children are told to embrace this DELIBERATE PROGRAM of GLOBAL GENOCIDE targeted against their RACE and if they don't like it they are NAZI WHITE SUPREMACIST RACISTS?

    Anti-Racist is a codeword for Anti-White”

    “In vino veritas. If she's a racist when drunk, she's a racist sober but has enough sense to hide it. More to the point, she's a vicious nasty cow who should be doing time.”
