British pro golfer Cloe May Frankish was hit with a $4,000 fine after she admitted to assaulting and disobeying police while intoxicated during an incident at the Malta International Airport on June 12, according to Times of Malta.
The 25-year-old Frankish, from Kent, and John Chinedu Uche, 31, who is a London native, reportedly became aggressive with authorities after they were denied boarding a flight home due to their state of intoxication.
The OnlyFans model and Uche were jointly charged with violently resisting arrest, refusing to obey legitimate orders of public officials, willfully breaching the public peace and being drunk in public, per the report.
Frankish was separately charged with willfully damaging a gate at the Malta International Airport Police Station — as well as slightly injuring a police officer.
Prosecutors said Frankish was kicking and smashing a wooden door, which resulted in approximately $467 worth of damage.
They presented the court with a denied boarding report by EasyJet, photos of the damages, a quote for the damages, as well a medical certificate for the injured officer.
Frankish was also ordered to pay for the damage and a restraining order against her states that she must stay away from the sergeant for a year, according to Times of Malta.
Police were called when Frankish and Uche refused to listen to the cabin crew’s instructions, and they eventually called the Rapid Intervention Unit for backup when things escalated.
When the pair appeared in court on June 15, Frankish had a cast on her left arm, according to Times of Malta.
Frankish and Uche — who was reportedly tasered by police in the incident and issued a fine of approximately $6,400 fine — pleaded guilty, per Magistrate Abigail Critien.
Frankish, who turned pro in 2017, plays on the Ladies European Tour.
She has played 82 tournaments with zero wins and seven top-10 finishes.
