The girlfriend of a lovesick Romeo who was jailed for breaching Covid restrictions when he crossed the Irish Sea on a jet ski to see her has been jailed for eight months for attacking a woman.
Jessica Radcliffe, 31, was jailed after she and her friend Leanna Louise Bradley, 33, forced their way into the woman's home and punched and kicked her while her children were upstairs at around 9.45am on March 31.
Radcliffe, from Anagh Coar, the Isle of Man, then grabbed and hit a police officer while the pair were being arrested at the scene.
The 31-year-old was sentenced to eight months after admitting offences of assault causing actual bodily harm (ABH), assaulting a police officer and property damage.

It comes after Radcliffe's boyfriend Dale McLaughlan, 28, made the 25-mile journey from Scotland to the Isle of Man to visit his girlfriend in December last year
Bradley, from Braddan, Isle of Man, pleaded guilty to assault causing actual bodily harm (ABH), resisting arrest, and two counts of property damage and was also sentenced to eight months.
Magistrates chair Michael Murley told Radcliffe and Bradley: 'This was premeditated. The sole purpose of your journey was to carry out the attack. You forcibly entered a house where children were present.
'The injuries caused were serious but it is fortunate they were not more serious.'

Earlier this year, prosecutor Chrissie Hunt told the court the pair kicked and punched the woman as she screamed to her housemate to protect her children who were upstairs in their bedroom.
The woman, who said she did not know Bradley but had previously had a dispute with Radcliffe, was then dragged up the stairs by the pair, which left her with burns on her forehead, the court heard.
She was also allegedly left with bruising and injuries to her head, arms and back.
