A Ridgetown woman has been convicted of a lesser charge in connection with an incident where she confronted a Chatham-Kent police officer while barely clothed. "That's right, yer honor! She confronted me, nekkid as an egg! And she conbacked me, too!"
Holly Skinner, 21, appeared in court in Chatham Tuesday facing a charge of assaulting a peace officer, to which she pleaded not guilty.
"See, yer honor? I'm dressed!"
"That's dressed?"
She ended up pleading guilty to resisting arrest in connection with an incident on April 16, 2005, surrounding an altercation with her boyfriend at the time.
"He ain't my boyfriend no more, yer honor!"
Assistant Crown attorney Fred Creed told Ontario Justice Bruce Thomas the situation arose from Skinner being upset at her boyfriend, who was talking to another woman while they were at a Ridgetown bar around 1 a.m.
"I didn't mind him talkin' to the brazen hussy, yer honor. It was the feelin' her up that I objected to!"
Chatham-Kent police were called to SkinnerÂ’s apartment around 5:15 a.m. in response to a noise complaint over the accused arguing with her boyfriend, Creed said.
"Honest, honey! I wudn't feelin' her up!"
"Right. Her honkers just happened to fall into yer hands!"
Skinner was “extremely upset” and only covered by a bed sheet when Const. Michael Weedon arrived at her apartment, he added.
"Miss, you got anything on but that bed sheet?"
"I thought I had my earrings on..."
Creed told the court Weedon had calmed the boyfriend down
[Whack!]
"Oooowwww!"
"There. That'll calm you down!"
when Skinner came up and “bumped” the officer. Weedon warned Skinner to stop, Creed said,
"Miss, I'm givin' you official warnin'! I'll give you just one hour to stop that!... Oh. They're not as big as they looked, are they?"
adding the woman then began swinging at the officer. At that point, Weedon called for backup.
"Car 54 where are you?"
