The court was told “serious injury was caused to multiple officers acting in the exercise of their duties”.
Fish was spared prison because of a “realistic prospect of rehabilitation”.
The defendant was jailed for 16 weeks, suspended for 12 months.
She was made the subject of a 25-day rehabilitation activity requirement and ordered to pay £100 each to the four officers and prosecution costs of £85.
