A woman charged with assaulting a police officer has denied the offence.

Rosemary Bianca Linseele appeared at Swansea Crown Court today for a plea and trial preparation hearing.

She was charged with assaulting an emergency worker, namely a police officer, in Aberystwyth on January 4 this year.

Linseele, 48, of Silian, denied beating the female officer.

Judge His Honour Geraint Walters KC set a trial date for February next year and released Linseele on bail until that time.
