British professional golfer Chloe-Mae Frankish was fined $4,000 after admitting to assaulting police while intoxicated and failing to comply with their orders following an incident at Malta International Airport on June 12. According to the Times of Malta.
Frankish, 25, from Kent, and John Chinedu Uche, 31, who was born in London, reportedly became aggressive towards authorities after being denied boarding a repatriation flight due to their intoxicated state.
According to reports, the OnlyFans model and Uche were jointly charged with violently resisting arrest, failing to obey the lawful order of a public officer, willfully disturbing the public peace and being intoxicated in public.

Frankish was separately charged with wilfully destroying a gate at Malta International Airport Police Station and causing minor bodily injury to a police officer.
Prosecutors said Frankish kicked and smashed a wooden door, causing about $467 worth of damage.
They submitted to the court easyJet’s denied boarding report, photographs of the damage, a damage estimate and medical reports from injured officers.
Frankish was also ordered to pay damages and a restraining order against her requires her to stay away from the sergeant for a year. According to the Times of Malta.
Police were called after Frankish and Uche failed to follow flight attendant instructions and, as the situation escalated, police called in the Rapid Intervention Unit for backup.
When the pair appeared in court on June 15, Frankish had a cast on his left arm, according to the Times of Malta.
Both Frankish and Uche were reportedly tasered by police during the incident and fined about $6,400, but Magistrate Abigail Critienne said they pleaded guilty.
Frankisch turned professional in 2017 and plays on the Ladies European Tour.
She has played in 82 tournaments with zero wins and seven top 10 finishes.
