A Derbyshire pub has been stripped of its licence after its landlady punched a police officer in the face and assaulted her own staff.
The Three Horse Shoes Pub in Derby Road, Ilkeston, had its licence revoked by Erewash Borough Council at a licensing hearing on 30 July.
Jacqueline Hather, 58, who had been designated premises supervisor, punched a police officer in the face on Sunday 26 May.
She then assaulted two of her own staff members, reports the (LDRS).
The hearing was told police were called to the venue after reports that Ms Hather was 鈥渒icking off and assaulting everyone鈥, said the LDRS.
When police attended at about 21:30 BST, they found she had assaulted two of her own staff, before exiting the venue via the beer garden, where she was followed by police and arrested.
As Hather was being arrested by PC Sophie Salloway, she punched her in the face, causing "immediate pain and discomfort".
The LDRS said video footage played to the hearing showed her involved in numerous scuffles, including pulling hair, throwing a glass bottle, and swearing at people in the pub.
Hather appeared at Southern Derbyshire Magistrates' Court on 19 June, when she pleaded guilty to assaulting an emergency worker.
She was made to pay 拢717 鈥 a 拢416 fine, 拢166 victim surcharge, court costs of 拢85 and compensation to PC Salloway of 拢50.
Pub remains shut
Councillor Linda Burns, chair of the council's licensing panel, wrote in a decision notice: "The behaviour of Jacqueline Hather at the licensed premises on 26 May was totally unacceptable.
"The events shown on the Facebook and bodycam footage shown in the course of the hearing reveal a distinct lack of respect for the police or the licensing conditions and accordingly, it is the panel's decision that the premises licence in relation to The Three Horse Shoes should be revoked."
The LDRS said she and her husband Glenn Canlin, who is the co-premises license holder, were looking to pass the licence over to new management and were in the process of selling the pub.
The Three Horse Shoes has remained closed for two months since the attack.
