A WOMAN who attacked two people in Herefordshire has been jailed after failing to comply with her community order.
Patricia Lewis was proven guilty in her absence by magistrates in Birmingham at an earlier hearing.
The court heard the 21-year-old had failed to comply with the requirements of a community order imposed by magistrates in Hereford by failing to comply with instructions given at supervision on April 5 and failing to attend an appointment on April 7.

She had handed the order after she was convicted of assaulting women in Ross-on-Wye and in Hereford by beating.
The court heard Lewis had also failed to surrender to magistrates at Kidderminster without reasonable excuse on June 15 having been released on bail.
The community order was revoked and Lewis, who is now of Rookery Road, Handsworth, was jailed for a total of 18 weeks by magistrates due to her wilful and persistent failure to comply with her community order and flagrant disregard for court orders.
