A Felixstowe woman who has now admitted assault has been warned a custodial sentence is possible.

Olivia Ryan, of Hall Field, Felixstowe, pleaded guilty at Ipswich Crown Court to an alternative offence of assault causing actual bodily harm after initially denying a charge of attempted robbery and inflicting grievous bodily harm at an earlier hearing.

The 23-year-old was due to face trial on the charges which were alleged to taken place on November 10, 2018.

Prosecution counsel, Simon Gladwell said her pleas were acceptable and he wouldn't be seeking a trial on the attempted robbery and inflicting grievous bodily harm charges.

Recorder Jeremy Benson agreed to adjourn the case until the week commencing July 25 for a pre-sentence report but warned Ryan that he wasn't making any promises about the sentence she would receive.
