A WOMAN has been ordered to show her vandalism of a neighbour's property and assaults on police were a "one off".
Cara Young, 27, previously pleaded guilty to attacking two officers while in hospital and shouting racist and disablist remarks at a third.
At Dumbarton Sheriff Court last week, fiscal depute Charis Jackson said that around 7.20pm on Saturday, November 25 last year, Young turned up at the property a few doors down from her own in Vanguard Street.
She began kicking and punching the front door and two living room windows while shouting.
The woman went to the property's back garden for a period and then returned to smash a front window with an unknown object.
At around 7.55pm, the police arrived and arrested her.
She was heard shouting, "You and your f*nny are all getting done in" and "you and your weans are f***ing dead".
Given her injuries, she was taken to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where she continued to be abusive.
Around 10pm there, she called an officer a "baldy c*nt". She was told to stop before being escorted to triage.
There she lifted her right leg and kicked down on to an officer's leg, and she stated, "f*** your weans".
She was restrained in a treatment room but turned her head and spat at a third officer, with the spit landing on the side of his head.
Shortly after midnight, she arrived at Clydebank police office and said to an officer "sp*zzy b*starts" and "English tw*t".
Young pleaded guilty to destroying or damaging property and repeatedly striking windows and a door with unknown objects, causing damage.
She assaulted one cop at the hospital by kicking him, a second by spitting at them, and acting in an aggressive manner to a third at Clydebank police office.
She shouted, swore and directed racial and disabilist remarks at the officer. This was racially aggravated and aggravated by prejudice relating to disability.
Defence solicitor Judith Reid said her client had offered to plead guilty from the start.
"She previously questioned whether her drink had been spiked," said Ms Reid, "but she lost the opportunity to look into the by her behaviour.
"She accepts she had been drinking with friends."
But her client had not been able to explain her subsequent behaviour, and she had never done anything like this before.
"It seems to be a real off-off and aberation," said the solicitor.
Sheriff James Mulgrew said: "These are serious offences. Any conduct in public with disorder is a concern. When it's in a hospital, it's viewed very seriously by the courts."
And he said her behaviour to police was also a serious matter.
But he said with support, should could show "this is a one-off".
Young was put on a structured deferred sentence for an initial three months where she will be under supervision by social workers.
