Marion Giannetti assaulted, obstructed or hindered the two nurses at the A&E department on September 7 of last year in that she repeatedly attempted to punch and kick both women. At the time of the offences, Giannetti was on bail.

Giannetti was appearing at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court last week when she pled guilty to the two charges. She also admitted to two other charges of behaving in a threatening and abusive manner.

On September 3, Giannetti shouted, swore and struggled with police officers at her home in Wheatley Drive, Saltcoats.

She was also aggressive towards her ex-partner at an address in Saltcoats in that she shouted, swore, struggled with him and refused to leave when asked to do so.

Sentence was deferred until April 3.
