A WALKERBURN woman who smashed the window of an antique dealer's shop has been ordered to pay for the damage at Selkirk Sheriff Court.
Ashleigh Winters pleaded guilty to wilfully and recklessly breaking the window of The Glory Hole in High Street, Innerleithen, on February 5.
Procurator fiscal Graham Fraser said the incident happened at 10pm when the 23-year-old accused was spotted kicking out at the window resulting in the eight feet by six feet sheet of glass breaking.
He explained the window was not covered by insurance as the excess was more than the damage.
The fiscal added Winters was under the influence of alcohol at the time.
Defence lawyer Fiona Hamilton said her client did not have a clear recollection of what happened.
Sheriff Peter Paterson ordered Winters to pay £250 in compensation to the shop.
