Buxton woman who caused thousands of pounds of damage at the Cavendish Arcade has now been jailed for assaulting a man

Kristina Sliskova, aged 30, of no fixed address but previously of Sherwood Road, Buxton, admitted assault, threatening behaviour and harassment when she appeared before Derby Magistrates’ Court on June 11.

According to court records, the harassment took place at the Punchbowl Caravan Park, in Manchester Road, between March 28 and April 4 this year, while the threatening behaviour and assault were both committed on April 1.

In separate incidents, Sliskova also admitted damaging a police vehicle in Buxton Market Place and carrying a knife in the town centre on May 5.

Last year, the Derbyshire Times reported that Sliskova caused thousands of pounds of damage after smashing windows at the Beer District and Pizza Express, at Cavendish Arcade, and at the Red Willow bar, at Cavendish Circus, in Buxton – receiving a suspended prison sentence from Chesterfield Magistrates Court.

For the latest offences, Sliskova, a Latvian national, was jailed for 26 weeks by magistrates. The six-week suspended sentence was also activated, meaning she will serve a total of 32 weeks.

She also admitted eight counts of committing offences while serving a suspended sentence, and magistrates also issued a restraining order for her not to contact her victim or go to the Punchbowl Caravan Park. She was also ordered to pay £100 in compensation.
