Two drunken teenage women have been banned from every pub, bar and nightclub in the UK after an incident at a hotel reception.
Kera McKeown and Larisa Sumovskaja, both 19, left a “trail of destruction” as they spat at staff, and threw a fire extinguisher and smashed a door with high heeled shoes. The women were caught on camera causing chaos at the Trouville Hotel in Bournemouth, Dorset, where they were not guests.
Ringleader McKeown was seen holding a vodka bottle in one hand and her high heels in the other, as she bashed the door of an office where receptionist Signe Ivane – who had asked them to leave – had locked herself in.

She also spat at her twice, threw two vases of flowers, a computer screen and a phone which hit a male receptionist on the head. Sumovskaja picked up a fire extinguisher because she “thought it would be funny to spray someone with it”. She didn’t use it but McKeown then threw it at the staff.
Sentencing them at Poole magistrates district judge Orla Austin, called their behaviour “disgraceful” as she told them they narrowly avoided going to prison. She issued an order banning them from all pubs, bars, nightclubs and hotels in the country for six months unless they have to go in one for work.
The incident happened at 11.20am on April 19 last year. The court heard when the women arrived at the hotel receptionist Ms Ivane asked them to leave as staff were not sure they were guests. They started shouting and McKeown threatened Ms Ivane with the vodka bottle in her hand, saying ‘I will punch you up’.
She picked up two vases filled with flowers which she hurled across the reception desk before chucking a red fire extinguisher and spitting at Ms Ivane. The drunken teen pushed a computer screen off the desk and tipped over a large pot plant and a coffee table before the trio finally left the premises. Sumovskaja then damaged a plant pot outside the hotel.

Tara Olney, prosecuting, told the court the hotel had suffered ‘reputational harm’ as well as the physical criminal damage. The owners estimated the cost, including clean up and ‘damage control’ at about £4,000. They had to issue refunds to appease guests.
McKeown and Sumovskaja, from Bournemouth, admitted criminal damage and affray. James Diamond, representing McKeown, said: “This is her first time before the court. She has mental health conditions and neurodiversity. Alcohol had influenced her behaviour, along with being young and foolish.”
Mark Hensleigh, for Lumovskaja, said: “This lady is very young, these offences occurred over a year ago. She didn’t do very well at school, she has mental health issues, she is very vulnerable.”
The judge gave them both 12-week prison sentences, suspended for a year. They were both also ordered to pay compensation to the receptionists and the hotel for the damage totalling £350 each.
Sumovskaja was also ordered to complete 15 rehabilitation activity days and 12 mental health sessions. Judge Austin said: “What happened here was frankly disgraceful. You made a complete nuisance of yourselves and became aggressive when you were asked to leave.
“It’s very clear from the footage it was very distressing to the staff. It is a custodial offence but I am just persuaded to suspend it. It is the last chance I will give you so I need you both to understand. You are both in quite a serious situation now – no more trouble whatsoever because if there is you leave me with no other option but to send you to prison.”
A third women, Jasmine Orchard, who was ‘dragged along’ with them, was dealt with by magistrates in January. They accepted she played a ‘minimal role. She received a 12-month conditional discharge for using threatening or abusive words or behaviour with intent to cause fear of violence and was ordered to pay £111 costs.
