Lady Sovereign spent a night in the cells in the Australian city of Brisbane at the weekend after she spat at a bouncer in a club. She had apparently only been in the country a matter of hours when she was arrested on charges of assault and being drunk and disorderly. She appeared before magistrates on Saturday morning and was fined AUS$400 and ordered to pay AUS$200 compensation to the bouncer.
Discussing the incident on Twitter, Lady Sovereign said: "Brisbane police need to go catch some real criminals... what a waste. Spitting in someone's face is nasty, but how about a guy dressed up as a girl running at you in the toilets and punching you in the head?"
