Man City star Phil Foden's mum Claire Rowlands arrested after knocking man's hat off and 'telling police to f*ck off' on boozy night out

The 44-year-old was accused of knocking off a man's baseball cap in a nightclub after she decided to go hard at her drinks with her friends. Rowlands gulped down tequila shots at a friend's caravan and topped it with further drinks at Bentley's nightclub in Towyn, Wales. The bouncers had to escort her out of the pub after they accused her of assaulting a guest.

Rowlands was produced at the Llandudno Magistrates' Court where she admitted to unruly behaviour and said: "I was just drunk. I was having a bit of fun. I had done it to a lad earlier. It was just a bit of fun, really, a bit of banter.

"I just could not believe that I could get into trouble for knocking someone's cap off. It's my party trick, knocking someone's cap off and putting it back on."

She also allegedly told police officers to "f*** off" after being ejected, leading to her arrest and a night in the cells.

"I kicked off with the police officers. I was a bit of a b****. I do not drink often but when I do, I make up for time. I am like an animal."

Duncan Campbell, the chairman of Llandudno Magistrates' Court, did not find her guilty of assault but slapped a £100 fine, £85 court costs, and another £40 as a surcharge as punishment.

"It is clear at the time that you were drunk, fooling around having fun," Campell ruled. "It is for the prosecution to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt and that you intended to use force. It is telling that Mr Shortman has not attended and that your actions were not consensual. Therefore we find you not guilty."

Foden might have a chat with her mother before taking the field on Friday evening in an FA Cup fourth-round against Tottenham Hotspur. After the cup fixture, he will be in action against Burnley and Brentford in the Premier League on January 31 and February 5, respectively.
