A woman who glassed her pregnant friend has been jailed.

Rosealeen Sullivan has been sentenced to 18 months in prison after being found guilty of assault and admitting to possession of a class A drug.

The court heard how the 33-year-old had been at the home of a friend on October 3, 2024, drinking wine.

The victim, who wasn't drinking due to being pregnant, said she wanted to sleep as she was tired and Sullivan rolled her eyes.

The victim asked why she did that and Sullivan turned on her, calling her names.

She then smashed a wine glass into the woman's forehead causing it to bleed quite badly.

At this point, the victim stood on broken glass, causing a cut to her foot, and an ambulance was called.

Sullivan was subsequently arrested on suspicion of assault, and she was taken into custody.

While there, officers found wraps of cocaine in her handbag and arrested her on suspicion of possession of a class A drug, namely cocaine.

PC Molly Eaton said: "This was an unprovoked attack on a pregnant woman in her own home.

"The injuries to her face and foot needed hospital treatment and it is incomprehensible how Sullivan could justify such violence against her friend.

"I hope this time in prison will act as a wakeup call for her in her behaviour toward her friend."

Sullivan, of Castleton Avenue in Stretford, appeared at Chester Crown Court on Thursday, October 16, for sentencing.

She was handed an 18 month prison sentence.
