Background
From the Daily News 12th May 2011
An unemployed Hawera woman who went on a drunken rampage with a knife and then spat on a female constable was jailed for 14 months yesterday. The Hawera District Court heard how Amiria Gaelyn Rangi, 46, had invited a male friend to come drink with her at 3pm on March 6. At 3.15am when he wanted to sleep, she refused – punching him and kneeing him in the testicles. After picking up a bottle and trying to hit him, Rangi then grabbed a knife and threatened to kill the man.

She chased him to a spare room, where he barricaded himself while she stabbed the door repeatedly. When police arrived, Rangi threatened to use a tomahawk axe and then spat on the arresting officer, telling her she had hepatitis C. Initially facing five charges, these were reduced to threatening to kill, assault and assaulting a police officer, Following an adjournment Rangi pleaded guilty after conferring with lawyer Neal Harding upon hearing she could be jailed for 18 months otherwise. After the ruling a cousin of Rangi's in the gallery got up and tried to protest the sentence but was silenced by Judge Allan Roberts.
