Julie Linden, 41, was apprehended on Sikeside Street on March 9.

“She could do with a bit of support and supervision.”
Sheriff Petra Collins said: “You should never have had this in your possession.
“I’ll take into account the significant background details and place you on a community payback order with supervision which will run for 12 months.”
