A PEMBROKE Dock woman has talked her way into prison after turning up drunk and telling a probation officer that alcohol was one of her five a day.

Victoria Mutu, aged 23, had been made the subject of a community order after drunkenly threatening a police officer with a knife.

But Mutu, of Meyrick Street, failed to attend appointments were her probation officer or to carry out unpaid work for the community.

Mutu was "breached" and ordered back to Swansea crown court to be resentenced last Friday, July 27.

Judge Paul Thomas said Mutu had behaved so aggressively towards one probation officer she was lucky not to have been charged with an additional offence.

Mutu, he said, had done everything she could to have the order revoked and replaced with a prison sentence, and he jailed her for 16 weeks.

He said the original sentence had been merciful because the court had wanted her to get over her drink problem.

But she had responded by attending meetings drunk and even boasted that she regarded alcohol as one of her five a day.

She was originally sentenced after police had attended the Old Coronation School flats on Meyrick Street on October 31 on unrelated matters when an intoxicated Mutu came out of her apartment and began shouting at them to go away.

Swansea Crown Court previously heard Mutu, who had admitted possession of a knife in a public place, then went back into her flat, only to return a short while later armed with a kitchen knife.

She only threw the knife away after being threatened with incapacitant spray.

Mutu had drunk a bottle of vodka on the day in question.

She was previously sentenced to a 12 month community order with a drug rehabilitation order and 100 hours of unpaid work.
