Jedburgh Sheriff Court
A BORDERS man who admitted a series of offences has been jailed for nine months at Jedburgh Sheriff Court.
Thirty-two-year-old Darren Devlin, of Hawick, appeared on three separate complaints for offences including theft by shoplifting, theft, threatening or abusive behaviour, breach of the peace and breaching of a Community Pay Back order.
Defence lawyer Ed Hulme said his client accepted a custodial sentence was likely and that Devlin did not have a bail address to offer the court.
