Acts of outraging public decency are illegal under common law, and Shelby was said to have behaved in an incident manner by urinating in a public place.

She was also convicted of attacking a police officer acting in the exercise of his functions as such a worker, attacking another man, and racially harassing a third man.

All of the incidents took place on December 7 last year.
