A HAWICK woman who caused a rumpus at her father's home and ended up assaulting two police officers has been placed on supervision for the next two years at Jedburgh Sheriff Court.

Twenty nine year old Claire Condie of Allars Bank, was warned that if she is involved in any further trouble she will be sent to prison.

She pleaded guilty kicking and punching a police constable and attempting to bite him on the leg at Wellington Court in Hawick on February 17.

She also admitted kicking a female police constable on the body and struggling violently with her on the A6091 by-pass.

Condie pleaded guilty to a  third charge of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner at her father's home in Wellington Court in Hawick, by shouting and swearing and making threats of violence.

Procurator fiscal Graham Fraser said events started with Condie turned up at her father's home under the influence of drugs and he phoned the police to ask them to come and remove her as he could not control her.

When police officers arrived at around 10.30pm she was lying on the sofa with a cushion over her face.

Mr Fraser said she started swearing at them and was aggressive due to her intoxicated condition.

Attempts were made to remove Condie from the couch during which she lashed out at an officer by kicking him and attempting to bite his ankle.

During this Condie became unresponsive due to the drugs she had taken and an ambulance was summoned to take her to Borders General Hospital.

She refused to tell anyone what drugs she had taken and police left her at the hospital.

At 4.15am police got a call from the hospital to say Condie had self-discharged but staff were still concerned about her condition.

Mr Fraser said that at about 4.45am Copndie was found lying on the grass near to the entrance of the BGH with her knees up to her chest.

He added:"She was shouting at them to leave her alone but they could not leave her due to the dangerous location she was in.

"During this she kicked a female police officer on the right knee and was taken into custody."

Defence lawyer Mark Harrower said the offences happened when Condie was feeling low and had taken substances.

He pointed out she had already spent five weeks in custody in connection with the matter.

Sheriff Peter Paterson imposed a supervision order lasting two years as a direct alternative to custody and warned her of the consequences if involved in any more trouble.
