BACKGROUND reports have been ordered into a Borders woman who admitted two domestic-related offences.

A warrant was initially issued for the arrest of twenty-seven-year-old Emma Drummond, of Hawick, who failed to appear at Jedburgh Sheriff Court on Monday last week.

She appeared the following day and pleaded guilty to threatening or abusive behaviour and vandalism.

Sentence was deferred until April 26 for a Criminal Justice Social Work Report and a Restriction of Liberty Order assessment.
