The antics of an intoxicated Coffs Harbour woman over a two-hour period at the weekend saw multiple calls to police.

At 2pm on Saturday, police received a complaint about a woman refusing to leave The Pier Hotel.

She was described as “about 40 years old, blonde hair, black leggings and big backpack”, court documents state.

Amanda Maree Clack left the pub before police arrived, but shortly after a person of the same description was “acting erratic” toward staff at the Jetty Supermarket.

She left the store without further incident.

Police were called when Clack initially refused to leave The Pier Hotel.

At 3pm police received a call about a woman kicking the window on the office door at Coffs Harbour Railway Station.

Police caught up with the 43-year-old at the intersection of Angus McLeod Place and Camperdown St.

The Jetty Supermarket where Clack was described to be acting erratically.

While they were speaking with her a resident approached and said Clack had thrown a rock at some nearby units.

Officers issued Clack with a move on direction.

But at 3.42pm police were called to the railway station after a report she was being “verbally abusive and aggressive” towards staff, facts state.

When officers arrived 13 minutes later they found Clack standing on the train track drinking alcohol from a bottle.

She was arrested for failing to comply with the move on order, but dropped herself to the ground as police tried to escort her to the carpark.

Clack refused to stand and kicked out at the two officers from the ground, police facts state.

She was then handcuffed but as officers moved her toward a police vehicle she headbutted one them, who was not injured by the attack.

Clack appeared at Coffs Harbour Local Court on Wednesday when she pleaded guilty to continue intoxicated etc behaviour after move on direction and assault and hinder police officer in the execution of duty.

Magistrate Roger Prowse told the court the accused needed “heavy duty intervention”.

“Clearly Miss Clack is a serious alcoholic,” Mr Prowse said.

The matter was adjourned to October 11.
