A WOMAN assaulted the hostess and two other guests and caused nearly £800 worth of damage to a car at a 30th birthday bash, Alloa Sheriff Court heard this week.

Dawn Drummond, 24, pushed over the hostess, seized a teenager by the hair, and kicked a man in the ribs.

She then hurled an object at the car, a one-year-old Audi A3 that was parked outside the event in Alloa's David Allan Drive, and when told to stop she kicked the bumper, causing further damage.

Prosecutor Sarah Smith told the court on Monday, December 7, there were "a number of people in the living room area" at the party, on August 1 this year, when Drummond entered, having been in the garden.

Ms Smith said: "There was a disagreement between the accused and another person, and the homeowner asked Miss Drummond to leave - to which she responded by pushing [her] to the ground.

"As a result, she suffered bruising to her forehead and a minor injury to her right shoulder."

A 16-year-old boy there went to the aid of the homeowner, only for Drummond to grab his hair and try to punch him.

Ms Smith said: "The accused was pulled away by other individuals and removed from the party.

"At that point she threw an unknown object at the car referred to in the charges, damaging the rear window and roof."

The depute fiscal said Drummond's third victim, a man who had been in the garden, "confronted" the accused about this.

Ms Smith said: "She responded by kicking the vehicle, causing further scuffing to the rear bumper.

"[The man] tried to calm her down but she pushed him to the ground and as he got back to his feet, kicked him to the ribs.

"She was thereafter restrained by others there, and the police were contacted."

She had left by the time officers arrived, but was cautioned and charged three days later and said: "Must have some strength doing that to guys".

Damage to the Audi was put at £783.

Drummond, of The Braes, Tullibody, who was not present in court, pleaded guilty through her solicitor to assault and vandalism.

Sheriff Craig Harris deferred sentence until January 28 for background reports and an assessment of Drummond's suitability for a tagging order.

Lawyer Larissa Milligan, defending, said: "The only comment I would wish to make at this stage is that during the commission of the assault on [the man], Miss Drummond was actually being restrained and removed from the property by a number of individuals."
