West Norfolk councillor 'receiving death threats' over Tenerife pool video

A West Norfolk councillor who was filmed being dragged out of a pool in Tenerife by police has said she has received death threats in response to the video.

Jo Rust, who represents the Springwood area on West Norfolk Council, was arrested following the incident at a hotel where she was staying earlier this month.

Mrs Rust, who is also a Labour activist and was a parliamentary candidate for North West Norfolk in last year's General Election, said she appeared in court the following day and was released without charge after apologising to the judge and expressing remorse.
