A Deal woman has been sent to prison for 120 days after she assaulted a security guard outside the Morrison's store in Bridge Street, Dover.
The 20 year old had denied the assault in October last year but was found guilty by magistrates in Folkestone (30 April 2012).
The court heard that she had hit, bitten and scratched the member of security staff who had stopped her just outside the store, suspecting she had stolen a bottle of alcohol.
PC Richard Cordery said: "This behaviour was completely unacceptable. Lanni was kicking and screaming in front of members of the public trying to go about their day and get their shopping.
"I am pleased that the court has imposed a sentence as this reflects the seriousness of the assault that she carried out on a man who was just doing his job."
Another woman from Dover who was also in the store was given a 24 month conditional discharge after she admitted using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour causing harassment alarm or distress to those nearby.
