A WOMAN has been ordered to pay more than £180 after racially abusing a Westcliff man.

Jessica Ann Findlay, 34, of Western Road, Daws Heath, appeared before Southend Magistrates’ Court on Monday accused of racially aggravated assault against Haruna Rauof, in Westcliff on August 27.

However, this charge was dismissed by the court as there was no evidence offered by the Crown Prosecution Service.

Findlay instead pleaded guilty to racially aggravated public disorder and was fined £73, ordered to pay a £20 victim surcharge and £85 costs, within 14 days.
