A FERAL beautician hurled racist abuse at a bouncer, spat at him and threatened his child after he refused her entry into a club.

Shannon Quinn, 28, had hurled a drink over a man in the queue after arriving at Banff club in Southport already drunk.

A row erupted before mixed race bouncer Ethan Obom, who went to school with the thug, refused her entry to the club.

When he asked Quinn to leave, she kicked off - spitting in the dad's face and calling him the N word 25 times.

She also threatened to shatter his windows at his home and claimed she would "smash" his child and fiancee's head in.

Liverpool Magistrates' Court was told Ethan's fiancee later messaged him to say their front bay windows had been smashed - but Quinn denied this.

She pleaded guilty to making threats to damage property, assault and racially aggravated intentional harassment.

Quinn was spared jail after the judge heard she lost her mum, grandmother and best friend in the space of a year.

In a statement, Ethan said: ''Miss Quinn made threats to smash my windows and a short time later, the windows to my girlfriend's property were damaged.

"I am fearful that she will return to my girlfriend's property. If I am not around. I do not know what she will do.

"That night I immediately left work as I did not feel it was safe to leave my partner and child in the property on their own."

The attack took place on October 27 last year when the dad-of-one was working the doors at Banff.

He said the racist abuse caused him "alarm and distress".

Ethan added: "Miss Quinn said to me: 'I am going to come to your house and throw a brick through your window. I am going to smash your girlfriend's head in and smash your kid's head in'."

The court was told Quinn, who studied hair and beauty at Southport College, had a previous motoring conviction from 2022 for failing to provide a specimen of breath.

Her lawyer Alison Sharples said in mitigation she does not accept causing damage to the window but admits making the threat.

She added: "The complainant is known to her. as they went to school together. But it is clear more went on than meets the eye.

"She is a young woman who has a lot going on dealing with multiple mental health diagnoses. You can see what happened in relation to her mum.

"It was absolutely horrific for her to have to deal with that as a young woman. On the day in question she actually said in one of the messages to the complainant, 'I was not myself'.

"She accepts that she was drinking to excess and behaved in a manner that was completely unacceptable and wrong. She held her hands up and said 'I know I have done something wrong'."

Quinn was handed a 12 month community order with requirements that she complete 20 days of rehabilitation activity.

She was also ordered to wear a sobriety tag for 120 days as part of an alcohol monitoring programme.

The beautician was slapped with a two year restraining order and was made to pay Ethan £100 in compensation, along with £199 in prosecution costs and surcharge.
