A 29-year-old woman has appeared from custody at Jedburgh Sheriff Court and admitted behaving in a threatening or abusive manner at Borders General Hospital.
Emma Forest, who gave an address in Galashiels, pleaded guilty to a charge of behaviour likely to cause fear and alarm by threatening to harm herself and others yesterday (Wednesday, June 13).
The court was told that she had become well known to the police and the NHS services in recent times with behaviour which was described as "attention seeking".
Depute fiscal Tessa Bradley said Forrest "enjoys engaging with police and the health services."
She pointed out Forrest is due to appear at Selkirk Sheriff Court on Monday relating to another allegation concerning her behaviour at the hospital back in April.
Sheriff Peter Paterson deferred sentence until July 18 for the production of a Criminal Justice Social Work Report and a Restriction of Liberty Order assessment.
