Chris Read, for Beese, said a number of police officers had been called to the previous incident and that a large crowd had congregated outside that night. She tells me that her friend s children were upset and these four young girls were outside being fairly loud, he said. She says her intention was to ask them to quieten down and leave, but accepts that she had been drinking and perhaps her approach was not as diplomatic as it might have been. But she says this was not entirely one-sided and that she was injured too as it turned into a general melee with lots of pushing and shoving.
