No punishment for woman who assaulted bouncer in underage row

A woman who tried to punch an Aberdeen nightclub bouncer after accusing them of letting in underagers has escaped punishment.

Nichole Bonner approached bouncers outside Priory on Belmont Street just before midnight and began accusing them of allowing underage people inside the venue.

But when they tried to ignore her and asked her to leave, the 24-year-old flew into a rage and started shouting and swearing.

When Bonner threw an unsuccessful punch toward one of the bouncers she was restrained to the ground.

Sentence had been deferred for six months and now Bonner, 24, has returned to the dock at Aberdeen Sheriff Court to be sentenced.

Defence agent David Sutherland said a court-ordered social work report was in positive terms.

Sheriff Ian Wallace said: “This was an unpleasant offence, but you have engaged well with social work.”

He admonished Bonner, meaning the conviction goes on her record but she does not face any additional punishment.

Fiscal depute Jennifer Pritchard previously told Aberdeen Sheriff Court: “Around 11.30pm on January 29, the accused approached the entrance to Priory where two members of security were working.

Bonner ‘slipped out of her handcuffs’

“The accused appeared to be hostile and accused the witnesses of allowing underage persons into the locus.

“The witnesses attempted to ignore the accused and encouraged her simply to leave  without causing more disruption.”

However, Bonner “began to shout and swear at them” before leaving briefly and returning to continue the verbal abuse.

Ms Pritchard went on: “The accused then swung her arm and fist up in an attempt to strike one of the witnesses in the face.”

Bonner was then “restrained to the ground” while police were called.

When officers arrived, Bonner “remained volatile”.

‘Significantly under the influence of alcohol’

Ms Pritchard said: “She initially slipped out of her handcuffs by forcefully pulling her arms apart.

“The handcuffs were reapplied to the rear and straps applied to the accused’s legs due to her kicking out.”

Bonner, of Hilton Drive, Aberdeen, pled guilty to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner, assault, and resisting, obstructing or hindering police.

At that earlier hearing, defence agent Michael Burnett said his client was “significantly under the influence of alcohol”.

Mr Burnett indicated a matter had preceded the incident and that there were other issues in the background that he did not wish to expand upon in open court.
