Paramedics were called out to an incident in Main Road in the village early yesterday morning (Tuesday 21 April).

Jade Ferguson, aged 26, of Main Road, assaulted two police officers and damaged an ambulance and police van.

She was arrested and charged under the Assaults on Emergency Workers Act and with two charges of criminal damage.

Ferguson appeared at Lincoln Magistrates Court via video link earlier today and pleaded guilty to all four offences.

She was sentenced to 22 weeks jail, suspended for a year, fined £120 and £85 court costs.

Chief Inspector James Trafford, Local Policing for Boston, said: “In cases such as these where police officers and paramedics, who were trying to help Jade Ferguson, are met with violence and aggression, we will take firm action in seeking charge and remand to the next available court.

“In the current times, more than ever before, behaviour of this nature will not be tolerated”
