Hailie Macro, 19, was jailed for four years following an incident where she left an 18-year-old with permanent scarring after biting off part of her lip.

She attacked the teenager in the car park at the Premier Inn in Bury St Edmunds after she intervened in an argument between Macro and another woman, Ipswich Crown Court heard.

Macro had punched the victim on the back of the head and she had turned round and struck Macro in self defence, said Lynne Shirley, prosecuting.

A scuffle followed with both women pulling each other’s hair before the victim felt a pain in her lip and a tearing sensation.

She was left covered in blood and was taken to West Suffolk Hospital before being transferred to Addenbrooke’s hospital.

Macro, of Kings Close, Mildenhall, admitted wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and an offence of assault by beating on the victim’s boyfriend.

She was given a four-year sentence of youth detention and was banned from contacting the victim for five years.

Christopher Cook, 25, was jailed for three years after he admitted supplying drugs in a Suffolk town.

Cook, of Icewell Hill, Newmarket, was arrested on Monday, January 23 following intelligence that suggested that he was responsible for dealing drugs in the area. 

When he was arrested Cook was seen to drop packages out of an upstairs window, which were later confirmed to be class A and B drugs, while an amount of class A drugs was also found inside the property.

A mobile phone was discovered and seized, which officers were able to prove had been used to send bulk messages out to potential drug users.

Officers also seized an amount of cash.

Cook was sentenced at Ipswich Crown Court on Tuesday after pleading guilty to being concerned in supplying cocaine, possession of cocaine with intent to supply and possession of cannabis with intent to supply.
