A single parent shoved a police officer when she thought officers were being too heavy-handed threatening to arrest someone she knew. Rochelle Tomlinson, 26, pushed the constable in Mansfield on November 16, 2022.
At Nottingham Crown Court on Thursday (May 5), she admitted she had resisted a constable acting in the execution of her duty. The court heard she has three previous convictions for three offences, including battery and assaulting an emergency worker.
Tomlinson, of Corporation street, Mansfield, has a four-year-old child, works and is on Universal Credit. The reason she got involved was because police were threatening to arrest someone she knew - and she thought they were being too heavy-handed with him.

She accepted she went over the line not being helpful. Recorder Stuart Sprawson said her previous convictions show she gets involved with police all too easily, and this was "another reflection of you sticking your nose where it doesn't belong".
"You have no right to interfere with them, yet you chose to shove a police officer, causing some discomfort to her neck," he added. He conditionally discharged her for two years and ordered she pay a victim surcharge.
