A woman who was jailed for three years after she plunged a broken bottle into a man's neck because he threw a sausage roll at her has her bid to reduce her sentence rejected.
Kelly Anne Dixon of Spencer Street, Heaton, Newcastle, admitted unlawful wounding and was jailed for three years in January this year. The 42-year-old took her case to the Court of Appeal on Tuesday (June 28) however the appeal against her sentence was dismissed.
Newcastle Crown Court previously heard how Dixon was drinking wine at Old Eldon Square, in Newcastle, early on a Sunday afternoon last October when she clashed with victim Darren Foster. The court heard Mr Foster accused Dixon of stealing from him and he threw a sausage roll at her, which missed and hit a woman sitting next to her.

Dixon, who has a long history of violence and 230 previous convictions, then shouted "f****** come on then", smashed a bottle and stabbed Mr Foster in the neck with its jagged edge after striking out four times. He was left with a large laceration under his jawline which was bleeding heavily.
Dixon has a long history of attacking people and the judge said he considered her a dangerous offender. Among her many previous convictions, starting with robbery in 1994, she has carried out multiple offences of assault and battery.
Last July she was sentenced for assaulting a 63-year-old man, also at Old Eldon Square. He motioned for her not to sit on his laptop on a bench so she took his walking stick and struck him across the knees.
