Drunken woman strangled taxi driver to unconsciousness with his seatbelt while hurling racist abuse

Abbie Tierney, 29, from Telford, was sentenced at Shrewsbury Crown Court after being found guilty at a trial earlier this year of three offences in relation to the incident on November 24, 2019.

The court heard that Tierney had been drinking with a group of friends in Telford on the evening in question, and was"highly intoxicated". Judge Recorder Marc Brown, said another man, Jamie Owen, had been finishing work and had booked a taxi to collect him. Tierney and her friends had tried to claim the taxi, leading to what Recorder Brown said was"some confusion".

He described the situation as"escalating", with Tierney slapping Mr Owen in the face, removing his hat, and spitting at him.'The pain is always there, but I am in control of my future' - brave victim of Telford sexual abuserWoman who paid 'friend of a friend' to dispose of rubbish gets huge fine after it was found dumped
