Sentencing Dent to an 18 month community order, Recorder Nicholas Lumley QC told her: "You said some wholly distressing and abusive things, using appaling language. The racist element in particular is grotesque.

"Their (call handlers) job is difficult enough without this sort of idiotic and distressing behaviour.

"When police found you, you were in a terrible state.

Recorder Lumley also told Dent she must take part in up to 30 rehabilitation days.
