Qld: Bashing ringleader walks free
GOLD COAST, April 24 AAP - A teenage girl accused of instigating a vicious beating
of an off-duty police officer and his girlfriend on the Gold Coast has walked free from
court.
Tiani Slockee, 18, had pleaded guilty to two counts of grievous bodily harm in the
attack on Constable Rawson James Armitage and Michelle Renee Dodge at Coolangatta in November
last year.
Slockee was the alleged ringleader of almost a dozen youths who kicked and punched
the couple, inflicting severe bruising and lacerations.
Southport District Court Judge John Newton today placed Slockee on two years' probation,
noting she had already spent 91 days in custody.
Slockee and Harley Lee Trindall, 18, along with seven other minors who cannot be named,
were all sentenced today after pleading guilty.
The harshest sentence was reserved for Trindall, who punched Constable Armitage.
He was sentenced to nine months in jail.
