A DRUNKEN woman hurled racist abuse at a doorman who refused to let her into a pub, a court heard.
Appearing at North East Wales Magistrates Court, Michaela Ann Childs admitted using racially threatening words following the incident outside the Clwyd Hotel in Shotton on November 2.
Justin Espie, prosecuting, said Cheslin Reid was working as a door supervisor when he saw two females walking towards the pub from the direction of the nearby Wetherspoons.
They were staggering and appeared drunk so Mr Reid refused them entry.
Childs, 29, began “swinging her arms” and becoming abusive saying: “I’ll get people to come down” before adding that Mr Reid had only stopped them coming in because they were white and that he was a “black bastard”.
Stephen Mullarkey, defending, told the Mold court Childs, of Glynne Street, Queensferry, worked as a sorter at the post office and was “deeply remorseful” about the incident as her workplace contained a lot of ethnically diverse people.
Magistrates chairman Nick Colbourne told Childs: “This was a particularly nasty incident and the language you used is not acceptable to anyone these days.”
Childs was fined £250 and ordered to pay Mr Reid £50 compensation as well as £85 costs and a £30 victim surcharge.
