Celebrity Big Brother star Hamilton fined for drunken assault on police officer Magistrates found the 52-year-old guilty of assaulting Police constable Dominic Matheson and ordered her to pay a total of £1,065 pounds in fines. Speaking outside the court Hamilton slammed magistrates and police and described herself as an "eccentric" in a rant in front of photographers and reporters. I think it's very sad that if I was Miss Bridget Jones, lying on the sofa drinking wine, that would be okay. But because I'm an eccentric and I have a different lifestyle, I'm treated like this," she blasted. I had a drink, a bottle of wine like Bridget Jones. My crime today is that I have an alternative lifestyle where all people are robots, everyone is bullied at school and everyone has their tiny bit of expertise. I have many facets to my relationship with myself. I'm a published author twice, I'm an accomplished actress and a model. But once the newspapers and the court system get you, that's it. I'm very pro-UK. I'm pro-police but I'm now beginning to wonder how many days has the court wasted on me giving a flower to a policeman. Addressing assembled photographers as she climbed into a waiting car she added: "I feel quite honoured to be putting food on your table right now, while you are taking a photograph of me." Hamilton, who was the first housemate evicted from the latest series of the Channel Five reality TV hit, had denied assaulting the officer and claimed she had been trying to give five policeman called to her home the distinctive sunflower as an apologetic gift. She then claimed officers had brutally beaten her and then carted her to a police station while she was wearing nothing but a coat. However, magistrates rejected Miss Hamilton's version of events and said that her evidence had not been "credible." We find that the dependent did strike Pc Matheson. We have reached this conclusion because all three police constables gave evidence that the defendent turned and moved forward towards Pc Matheson," said presiding magistrates Ken Birkby. She pulled her arm forwards, striking him on her upper chest. Pc Matheson was certain he was punched. The other two police constables saw the blow and backward movement of Pc Matheson. The defendant's evidence was completely at odds with the three prosecution witnesses. She was highly emotional, swearing and admitted drinking heavily. Wearing a stylish navy coat, high heels and a turquoise scarf the former face of car firm Volkswagen looked emotionless as the verdict was delivered. At the start of her trial earlier this month, Aylesbury Magistrates' Court, Bucks., heard how Hamilton had got drunk on wine after the collapse of a relationship with a man she was "very much in love" with. Magistrates heard family friend Jon Bunce, with whom Hamilton lives in a rural cottage, called police after the star threatened to kill herself and was throwing knives around. Hamilton said she had taken up gardening and had been growing a 14ft Great Mammoth Sunflower she claims is also seen on Prince Charles' estate. Magistrates were told by prosecutor James Cartwright that Hamilton ran barefoot into the garden of her home in Farnham Royal, Buckinghamshire, tore the head off a sunflower and then punched Pc Matheson in the chest. However, she said that she would not use the flower to hurt anyone as it was her "sacred" family crest, and that she had tried to give it to Pc Matheson as a present. The star claimed she had fallen backwards as she tried to pull the plant free and accidentally come into contact with Pc Matheson. David Hicks, defending, told the court today/yesterday (Fri) that Hamilton had caused Pc Matheson no injury, and reminded the bench that the officers had been called to her home in Black Pond Lane, Farnham Common, Bucks., at around 3.30am on September 29 last year, to help her. "They were presented with someone who was causing them some concern for her own safety, there are those issues which lessen her culpability," he said. Mr Hicks said that Hamilton had not yet received all of her pay from Celebrity Big Brother, with the remainder due in March. The court was told her income from this year so far had been £7,500 pounds. Mr Hicks handed the magistrates copies of Hamilton's medical records and photographs of her "alternative lifestyle," which were not disclosed to the court. "I'm off for the next two months not working due to my doctor, with no future work or contracts," said Hamilton. She was ordered to pay a fine of £400 pounds, a £15 pounds victim surcharge, and £650 pounds in costs, but did not have to pay Pc Matheson compensation. The former supermodel starred in a blockbuster advertising campaign for Volkswagen in the 1980s which made her a household name. At the start of this year the controversial icon returned to the small screen for the 11th series of Celebrity Big Brother alongside stars including X Factor flop Rylan Clark, who eventually won, footballer Neil Razor Ruddock, and The Hills stars Spencer and Heidi Pratt. She suffered the ignominy of being the first housemate to be booted out on day seven of the series following a public vote.
