A mum-of-two punched another woman’s teeth out after red wine was spilt down her dress.
Megan Ware, from Chester, was said to be ’10 out of 10 drunk’. She grabbed Emma Mitchell from behind by her hair and punched her in the face after a gender reveal party.
The 22-year-old also pulled the hair of another woman, Emma Pinnington, after she discovered red wine down her own dress.
When interviewed, Ware was so drunk she could not recall if she assaulted the person who she thought had thrown the drink over her.
At Chester Magistrates’ Court, Ware pleaded guilty to two charges of assault and also to being drunk and disorderly.
She was also ordered to pay Miss Mitchell £400 in compensation, and £100 to Miss Pinnington.
Laura Simpson, prosecuting, said: ‘On October 7, Emma Mitchell and Emma Pinnington went for a night out in Chester with friends.
‘They went to the Victoria Pub and left at 2am but as they were heading towards a taxi rank Miss Mitchell stated that she felt somebody, the defendant, behind her pulling her hair.

‘She was pulled to her knees and then punched in the face. A police officer saw the assault on Miss Mitchell and he pulled the defendant away from her.’
Telling the court Ware had no previous convictions, Miss Simpson added she had used ‘substantial force’ in the assault.
‘She punched Miss Mitchell while she was on the floor and caused her teeth to be knocked out,’ the prosecutor said. ‘It was a persistent assault against two unknown females.’
Chris Hunt, defending, said Ware admits she was drunk but Miss Mitchell may have been wearing dentures.

He said: ‘[Ware] is not someone who goes out regularly and she does not drink regularly.
‘She had gone to celebrate her friend’s pregnancy, a gender reveal. She accepts that it was one night out in years and accepts that she drank too much, after that she was hazy.
‘She recalled someone pouring a drink over her. She appeared to have lashed out at someone who she believed had thrown drink over her.’

‘But we have listened to what your solicitor has said and your previous good character has stood well for you.’
