A pregnant woman who attacked a rest home worker and an animal control officer has been warned she will end up in prison if she reoffends. Kiriwaitutu Hawkins, 23, was sentenced on Tuesday at the Manukau District Court and placed on a two year supervision order. The Hamilton mother-of-two lashed out on two separate occasions in February this year, earning charges of threatening to kill, intentional damage of a motor vehicle and threatening behaviour. In the first incident on February 18, Hawkins was visiting her mother at a rest home and became angry when she was not allowed to leave her children in her mother’s care. Hawkins swore and threatened the rest home manager before physically attacking her. “You lunged at her, punched and abused her and spat at other staff members,” Judge Jane Lovell-Smith said. “You were screaming at the victim and police were called.”
