AFTER shouting and swearing in her home, Emma Lowe then brandished a knife.
The 40-year-old was told to calm down, but picked up a large knife from the kitchen. One of the men in the flat shouted, “she’s got a knife”, and managed to get it from her before running out of the house and contacting police.
Lowe, of Gala Park, Galashiels, admitted brandishing a knife at her home on January 19.
Police found her under the influence of alcohol and extremely agitated.
Lowe’s solicitor said his client had “succumbed to drink” after a period of abstinence.
On a further complaint, she admitted stealing meat worth £70 from the Co-op in Lauder on February 4.
Sentence was deferred for 12 months – until February 24, 2014 – for Lowe to be of good behaviour.
