"There were too many people present for lockdown regulations in place at that stage and police asked those in attendance to disperse. The accused remained, as it was her home address at that time.

"She began shouting and swearing from her window towards officers. As a result a number of neighbours attended in the street. Police spoke to the accused and she began throwing items around her property.

"As a result of her behaviour and refusal to desist police officers arrested her. As they were taking her from her flat, she kicked an officer to the body.”

It was stated Allisson later apologised to officers for her behaviour.

Stephen Biggam, defence solicitor, said the offence had happened due to the level of alcohol Allisson had consumed on the night.

Sheriff Christopher Shead placed her on a community payback order with the condition she complete 120 hours unpaid work within 12 months.
