An Amersham woman has been fined after she assaulted a man in Marlow.

Lucy Elliston, 35, of The Bramblings, has been ordered to pay a £120 fine as well as £107 in court costs.

At a hearing at Wycombe Magistrates' Court on August 4, Elliston pleaded guilty to a charge of assault by beating.

The court heard how on January 13, Elliston assaulted a man in Marlow.

After hearing the evidence, the magistrates found that serious punishment would not be needed, and that a fine was the most appropriate action.

No compensation was awarded to the victim as "no loss or damage" was caused in the incident.
