Woman jailed for glassing friend in Adlington

Monday, 20 October 2025 20:05

A 33-year-old woman has been jailed for assaulting a pregnant woman with a wine glass in Adlington.

Rosealeen Sullivan from Castleton Avenue in Stretford appeared at Chester Crown Court on 16th October after being found guilty of assault and pleading guilty to possession of a Class A drug (cocaine) at an earlier hearing.

She was sentenced to 18 months in prison.

Sullivan had been at the home of a friend on 3rd October 2024 drinking wine. The victim wasn’t drinking due to being pregnant.

The victim said she wanted to sleep as she was tired, and Sullivan rolled her eyes.

The victim asked why she did that and Sullivan turned on her calling her names.

She then smashed a wine glass into the woman’s forehead causing it to bleed quite badly. The victim then stood on broken glass causing a cut to her foot.

An ambulance was called, and they informed police. Sullivan was arrested on suspicion of assault, and she was taken into custody. While there, officers found wraps of cocaine in her handbag and arrested her on suspicion of possession of a class A drug (cocaine).

She was later charged with the offences.

PC Molly Eaton said:

“This was an unprovoked attack on a pregnant woman in her own home. The injuries to her face and foot needed hospital treatment and it is incomprehensible how Sullivan could justify such violence against her friend.

“I hope this time in prison will act as a wakeup call for her in her behaviour toward her friend.”
