A MOTHER spent Boxing Day night in police cells after two sons had a festive fall-out, a court heard yesterday.

Janice McWilliams, 37, was arrested when she grabbed an officer's arm to pull him away from her feuding sons at a house in Rawlinson Avenue, Billingham, said Nikki Nelson, prosecuting at Teesside.

McWilliams, of Halidon Way, Billingham, admitted causing a breach of the peace and agreed to be bound over to behave for six months or risk forfeiting £100.
