A MOTHER-OF-TWO who was involved in a bust-up with a taxi driver and then struggled violently with two police officers has been admonished after being of good behaviour for the past six months.

First offender Alice Gray, 24, of Church Square, Galashiels, pleaded guilty to shouting, swearing, screaming and refusing to leave a taxi when requested to do so.

She also admitted struggling violently with the officers in Bridge Street, Galashiels, on July 29.

Selkirk Sheriff Court was told that a taxi driver pulled up outside Galashiels Police Station and told officers she would not get out of the vehicle.

She was abusive and turned increasingly violent to the constables as she was arrested.

Defence lawyer Ross said it was "uncharacteristic behaviour" from his client.

He explained she had been on a night out and had drank far too much which she was not used to and had no recollection of the incident.

Sheriff Peter Paterson admonished her after hearing there had been no further offending during a period of deferred sentence.
