A Picton mother admitted assaulting the same police officer on two different occasions including one incident in which she bit him, causing the skin to break, police say.
Teresa Denise Siggelkow, 33, admitted two charges of assaulting police, resisting police and disorderly behaviour when she appeared in the Blenheim District Court yesterday.
She was granted bail until sentencing on March 26.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Graham Single said police were told about a woman walking drunk along Waikawa Rd about 6pm on July 28 last year.
Police found her "staggering" along the footpath with a young child in a pushchair.
She began yelling and swearing at police when they tried to speak to her and began swinging her arms about, causing the pushchair to roll toward the road.
After being told she was under arrest she continued to yell and swear and tried to break free from custody. During the struggle Siggelkow punched one of the officers twice in the forearm and bit him, breaking the skin which later needed medical treatment.
About 5.40pm on January 21, Siggelkow was drinking on the Picton foreshore in breach of her bail conditions.
She was approached by police officers and went back with them to the police car.
On the way to the Blenheim police station she tried to open the car door, but when she could not open it began punching the window.
The constable, who was sitting in the back seat, tried to restrain her but was punched on the side of the face.
He then tried to restrain her by pushing her against the car, but she continued to punch him, aiming for his head and face.
Took money from grandmother
A Picton teenager will undertake restorative justice with her grandmother after admitting using the older woman's Eftpos card to withdraw more than $600.
Tayla Leigh Procter, 17, admitted using a document for pecuniary advantage and resisting police when she appeared in the Blenheim District Court yesterday.
She was released on bail and will return to court on March 19.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Graham Single said Procter had lived with her grandmother on and off for about two years.
On December 5 she was visiting her grandmother when she took her grandmother's bank card, used it at an ATM in Picton to withdraw $660, then returned it.
She told police she used the money for a tenancy bond.
Defence counsel Rob Harrison asked for an adjournment for restorative justice.
Lookout sentenced
A Blenheim teenager who acted as a lookout during car break-ins in Redwoodtown has been ordered to pay his share of reparation for the stolen items.
Samuel Benjamin Rozee, 19, unemployed, was also sentenced to four months community detention and 12 months intensive supervision after previously admitting five theft charges. He also admitted breaching community work.
Rozee was ordered to pay $283.10 which was one-third of the total reparation.
Judge Stephen Harrop said police searched Rozee's home where he lived with two other associates and found multiple items which had been stolen from cars.
Rozee admitted being part of five break-ins in the Redwoodtown and Witherlea area between October 28 and 31 last year.
He acted as a lookout and also admitted hiding some of the items which included a wallet, car stereos and a cellphone at his home.
Judge Harrop said Rozee had a limited criminal history and referred to a probation report which said Rozee wanted money for alcohol and drugs.
Defence counsel Bryony Millar said Rozee's behaviour was unacceptable and needed to change.
Remand on sex charge
A 27-year-old Blenheim man has been remanded without plea after being charged with having a sexual connection with a girl under 12.

He will reappear on February 13.
