Procurator fiscal depute Heather Galbraith said: “Police were requested to attend Kintyre Place. Several people were in the street and loud shouting was coming from the entrance to Kintyre Place.

“A friend of the accused was being arrested at this time and the accused approached the police vehicle and tried to enter it. She was asked to move away and grabbed the hand of one of the officers, starting to push and shove, kick and punch the officer.

“This caused bruising to the left knee of the officer. The accused was then arrested and continued to resist, kicking out at officers this caused injury to a police officers groin area.”

Gordon Addison, defence solicitor, said: “She got involved in something that was nothing to do with her and as a result police had to arrest her.”

Sheriff Derek Hamilton fined Beattie, 29 Tiree Place, Hallglen, £600 to be paid back at a rate of £20 per fortnight.
