McDonald's worker, 18, falls over in drunken stupor on family night out - then played dead while being tackled by police

A teenage girl fell over in a drunken stupor on a family night out - and then played dead while being tackled by police.

McDonald's worker Chelsea Henley, 18, kicked an official patrol car during a night out before falling to the ground and keeping her eyes closed while an officer struggled to get her up. Henley had gone on a night out with her family last month in Warrington where she had been drinking heavily.
