Her conviction for wounding with intent led to a dangerous-offender designation together with an extended licence period.

Overview

  • She received eight years and two months for slashing Birmingham City supporter Michael Keeling and two months for racially aggravated assaults on officers in September 2024.
  • During sentencing at Birmingham Crown Court Harris shouted abuse at Recorder Paul Stagg, bared her backside in the dock and told him to “kiss my a***.”
  • In February 2024 she attacked Keeling at a Solihull hotel after he mentioned his support for Birmingham City, inflicting serious facial wounds while calling him a “Zulu.”
  • West Midlands Police officers testified that in September 2024 she spat at, kicked and racially abused them while chanting “Tommy Robinson” and “EDL” during her arrest.
  • Court records show Harris has 44 prior convictions for 93 offences, including a 2018 samurai sword attack, and her defence cited alcohol misuse and a diagnosed personality disorder as factors.
