Officers were called to the Plough Inn at 12.40am on Saturday May 29 when it was reported that Siavon Hughes was fighting with another woman, said prosecutor Sanjay Jerath.
As she was being put in the van, Hughes spat on the officer's right cheek and she screamed and kicked out in the back – popping a rear window from its frame.

Hughes denied being a fighter and did not think she would have thrown any punches, Mr Jerath added.
Harry Bevan, mitigating, said: "The behaviour of Siavon was completely out of character. She is upset and embarrassed.
"I don't think she will trouble the courts again.
"She deserves full credit for her guilty plea at the earliest opportunity and for her full and frank admissions."
