A Cheshire businesswoman attacked two policemen during a bust up as they handcuffed her. Carol Holcroft pushed out at one officer and kicked another when she was arrested, a court has heard.
The 60-year-old had called police regarding an undisclosed matter to an address in Bollington, near Macclesfield, three miles from her £1m home. But after wealthy company director Holcroft found herself arrested at the scene, she became 'very upset' at how the handcuffs were causing her 'pain', and lashed out at officers PC Hilditch and PC Mason.
Laura Davig, prosecuting, said: “Police were in attendance regarding an unrelated matter that is not before the court today. The defendant was arrested for those matters.

"When the defendant was cautioned she became non-compliant with the officers. She reacted by pushing a PC Hilditch, who had been using handcuffs.
"When PC Mason came to his colleague's assistance, the defendant kicked the officer to the left knee." The court heard that married Holcroft, a director of a company which manufactures parts for forklift trucks, admitted her actions had been 'reckless'.

"PC Mason was standing very close to me and I accept that I was agitated and upset and I was moving my legs around. I accept that I may well have caught PC Mason but not with any intent or force."
The court heard that Holcroft, of Castle Hill, Prestbury, was last convicted in 2016 after being caught drink driving twice in three
