A TEENAGER was said to have been mortified by her own drunken behaviour after learning of the details of her horrid racial abuse of a nurse.
An Ipswich court this week heard the girl was found at 1.45am and when police tried to assist her she reacted violently, trying to bite and punch the officers.
Ipswich Magistrates Court heard the Springfield Lakes teenager was extremely ashamed and remorseful.
She had written a letter of apology to the court, saying her parents would assist to ensure she did not drink to excess again.
The 18-year-old pleaded guilty to causing public nuisance in the vicinity of licensed premises at Springfield Central on November 7 last year; and obstructing police in their duties when adversely affected by an intoxicating substance.
