Bedale woman breaches behaviour order

Susan Cooper.

A Bedale woman has appeared in court charged with breaching a Criminal Behaviour Order.

Susan Cooper, 64, of Ash Tree Road in Bedale, faces nine charges of breaching the order, between 23 November and 28 November 2018, by being drunk in public and calling the police without there being a genuine emergency.

She was remanded into custody at York Magistrates Court yesterday, and will next appear at court on 20 December.

The five-year criminal behaviour order was issued earlier this month after Cooper wasting hours of emergency services’ time.

The defendant has a long history of contacting North Yorkshire Police inappropriately as well as other services including her local GP Surgery.

Under the order, Cooper must not:

  • Consume alcohol in any public place other than licensed premises within the Hambleton area of North Yorkshire as shown edged in blue on the attached map (bottom of page).
  • Be drunk in a public place within the Hambleton area of North Yorkshire as shown edged in blue on the attached map.
  • Be in possession of an open container of alcohol in a public place other than licensed premises within the Hambleton area of North Yorkshire as shown edged in blue on the attached map.
  • Call or attend any emergency service, NHS Service, GP Practice, Police Station or encourage by her actions or reports anyone else to do so on her behalf except when in genuine need of emergency services requiring immediate assessment, action or treatment or when making a medical appointment.

She must also:

  • Complete a total of ten weekly sessions with North Yorkshire Horizons over a four month period to access the “Motivation to Change” programme.
