Richard Pratt’s mistress Shari-Lea Hitchcock guilty of biting cop
Billionaire Richard Pratt’s mistress has been found guilty of biting police after the drunk Sydney socialite tried to resist arrest.
Billionaire Richard Pratt’s long-term mistress has been found guilty of biting police after the swearing and drunk Sydney socialite tried to resist arrest more than two years ago.
Shari-Lea Hitchcock, who was dishevelled and stumbling in the middle of a Sydney road in March 2016 before lashing out at an officer called to protect her, was convicted of three charges and placed on a two-year good behaviour bond. “The officer was there doing her job and didn’t deserve to be kicked in the chest and didn’t deserve to be bitten,” magistrate Jennifer Atkinson said in the Downing Centre Local Court on Wednesday.
