Salvation Army, Heaton Street, Blackburn.. A FORMER resident at the Salvation Army hostel in Blackburn spat at a member of staff when he refused to give her a cup of tea or let her use the toilet. Blackburn magistrates heard the victim was imposing rules introduced because of Covid-19 but ended up being put at risk himself. Stacey Louise Bell, 42, of Preston Old Road, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to assaulting Soloman Peters. She was fined £80 and ordered to pay £100 compensation and £34 victim surcharge. Joseph Broadsmith, prosecuting, said the incident happened in June. Mr Peters was working at the hostel when he saw Bell emerge from the residential area at 8.30am. She was not a resident and was not meant to be in the hostel.
