A WOMAN who admitted causing alarm and distress to members of the public has appeared in court.

Courtney Louise Lockyer, aged 20, of Suffolk Road, Bournemouth, appeared at Poole Magistrates' Court on Monday, January 25.

She admitted intent to cause members of the public harassment, alarm or distress, in that she used threatening abusive or insulting words or behaviour or disorderly behaviour, thereby causing that person or another harassment, alarm or distress, contrary to section 4 of the Public Order Act.

The charged was in relation to an incident at Bournemouth on Sunday, January 24.

She also pleaded guilty to damaging a garage door at South Road, Corfe Mullen, on August 14, last year, and commission of an offence while subject of a conditional discharge order.

Lockyer was ordered to attend Poole Magistrates' Court on April 4, so a pre-sentence report can be prepared.

As part of her bail conditions she must not go to the Bournemouth International Centre, or the car park adjacent on Exeter Road, Bournemouth.
