"She said at the time she was a seamstress.”
The court heard Logan did not “quite remember” why the scissors were tucked into one of her Timberland boots, but they were and she accepted that. They were apparently small scissors and Logan had been doing a bit of sewing for family and friends at the time.
It was stated she had no explanation as to why they were in her boot.
Sheriff Eric Brown said this was her first conviction since 2014 and she had no convictions on her record of a similar nature.
