A DALMUIR woman walked away from court without punishment for banging on a shared wall in her home.

Michelle Burke admitted acting in an aggressive manner by shouting, swearing, uttering threats of violence and abusive remarks on November 5, 2021, in her now former home in Trafalgar Square.

The 42-year-old first offender also shouted, swore, repeatedly banged on a door and on a shared wall, and threw items at the same property in Clydebank almost a year later on September 14, 2022.

We previously told in November last year that Sheriff Maxwell Hendry imposed a structured deferred sentence (SDS) at Dumbarton Sheriff Court.

However, Burke appeared in the dock on August 8 where it was heard that she wasn't adhering to the rules of the order.

Sheriff Hendry said: "The [social work] report at the end of May said there are current concerns around her responsibility of the SDS where she has failed to attend appointments and fully engage with the SDS process.

"Without pointing in any particular direction [it also] said that another disposal might be appropriate."

Kenneth McGowan, defending, said: "She has remained abstinent from alcohol. I would submit that she is quite a vulnerable lady but presents well today.

"She is described as more settled as her lifestyle improved and there is quite a lot of support."

The sheriff replied: "She is on bail but she is refusing to disclose her current address.

"I have a report from July which isn't very old but it is clear that she does in fact have an address. She is staying with somebody but she doesn't want to tell the court where it is."

After getting instructions from his client, Mr McGowan responded: "She is between houses."

Sheriff Hendry said: "I can see reasons why there should be supervision but if the accused and the social worker are against it then not much will be achieved."

He admonished Burke adding: "It is the most lenient sentence a court can impose.

"It is simply a warning that you cannot behave as you have behaved before."
