Bainsford woman who pushed man out wheelchair ordered to be of good behaviour

Stacey Love, 151 David’s Loan, attacked her victim by pushing him to the ground at Tesco, Central Retail Park, Falkirk, on May 1.

The 42-year-old also shouted, swore and uttered racially offensive and homophobic comments in Grahams Road before kicking a police officer’s leg at Falkirk Police Station.

Love appeared at Falkirk Sheriff Court on Thursday, having missed a scheduled appearance the week prior because she was recovering from a fractured ankle.

Stephen Biggam, defence solicitor, said his client had also suffered a fractured eye socket after being assaulted.

He added: “She tells me she’s not very mobile at the moment.”

Love was placed on a structured deferred sentence and ordered to attend services that assist with mental health and alcohol difficulties.

Sentence was deferred for six months for her to be of good behaviour. There will be a review in three months’ time.
