William Tyrrell’s biological mother charged with multiple offences
Yesterday, the biological mother of missing boy William Tyrrell appeared in court after she was charged with multiple offences including spitting on a police officer.
On December 22 last year, Kylie Tyrrell was arrested in a Ryde shopping centre after security asked for police assistance with a woman who was “acting aggressively towards customers”.
A NSW Police spokesperson told news.com.au that the 29-year-old “allegedly repeatedly swore at the officers in the presence of two children” when the police arrived on the scene.
“Police attempted to speak with the woman when she allegedly spat on the face of one of the officers,” a statement issued to news.com.au by NSW Police read.
She was then taken to Ryde Police station where she was issued with a court attendance notice for assaulting an officer and using offensive language in a public setting.
Yesterday, at Burwood Local Court Ms Tyrrell pleaded guilty to the charges and she will receive her sentence on Monday.
These charges follow reports that William’s birth father, Brendan Collins, is awaiting sentencing on minor charges.
Their son William, who disappeared on September 12, 2014, remains at the centre of one of Australia’s most perplexing missing child cases.
The identities of William’s birth parents were kept secret until legal bans were lifted late last year.
Child Protection laws previously prevented revealing that William had been fostered out at the time of his disappearance.
