Assault charge for shushing Aussie woman

An enjoyable trip to a Texas cinema to watch Health Ledger in Brokeback
Mountain ended badly for an Australian woman who had the nerve to shush a
fellow movie-goer who was talking on her mobile phone.

Former Sunshine Coast councillor Pauline Clayton ended up being escorted
from the cinema by police, arrested and charged with assault, News Ltd
newspapers reported.

Ms Clayton now faces a fine of up to $675.

She told News Ltd she was enjoying the film, which was about halfway
through, when a woman's mobile phone rang - and she answered it and began
talking.

Ms Clayton put her finger to her mouth, signalling to the woman to quieten
down then touched her on the shoulder twice.

The other woman then stood up and started shouting expletives at Ms
Clayton before storming out of the movie.

Police arrived and escorted Ms Clayton out of the theatre.

The other woman told police Ms Clayton had been "invading her private
space" and accused her of assault.

Ms Clayton was charged and must appear in a Texas court next week, but her
accuser is not off the hook - she must also appear in court over her
behaviour.
