A WOMAN went on a rampage smashing a car window and glass door panel and assaulting police officers following a dispute over her father's ashes.
Susanna Jackson admitted criminal damage to property, two charges of assault by beating of an emergency worker (police officers PC Webb and PC Waite).
She also admitted two charges of using threatening/abusive/insulting words/behaviour to cause harassment/alarm/distress (the victims being Chelsea Jackson and Christopher Monks) when she appeared at Worcester Magistrates Court.
Prosecutor Sumreen Asfar told magistrates the injured parties in the case were Jackson's brother and sister, and the offences came following a dispute over their father's ashes.
The prosecutor said, after not being let into her brother's home in Worcester, she damaged the glass panel in a door using a screwdriver and also smashed the windscreen of his Ford Focus on May 23 this year.
The prosecutor said: "Police arrived, they try to detain the defendant.
"She kicked out at one of the officers on the front, and another on the back of her legs - causing her pain."
The prosecutor added family members had applied for a restraining order against the 40-year-old.

Jackson, of Lear Close, Worcester, had one previous conviction for criminal damage dating back to 2020.
Nick Roberts, defending Jackson, said it was his application to adjourn for the probation service to complete a pre-sentence report on her - required as there is the potential Jackson will receive a community penalty.
Mr Roberts said the central issue in the case was her bereavement following her father's death which he said had caused his client's anxiety and depression.
Magistrates told Jackson they needed the report to be able to sentence her, and adjourned the case until Thursday, September 8.
Jackson was given conditional bail, the conditions including not to contact family members involved in the case - the conditions put in place to prevent interfering with witnesses and further offences.
The case was heard at Worcester Magistrates Court on Thursday, (August 18).
