BEING in involved in a bust-up with her partner at the hospital where she was employed has resulted in a 43-year-old woman being ordered to carry out 120 hours of unpaid work at Selkirk Sheriff Court.
Jillian Reid, formerly of Newtown St Boswells and now living in Tweedbank, had pleaded guilty to a total of three offences which happened earlier this year.
She had been ordered to be of good behaviour for six months as part of a deferred sentence.
Although she completed this successfully, Sheriff David Clapham expressed concern that one of the offences had happened at Borders General Hospital where patients were being treated.
Defence lawyer Mat Patrick said his client's relationship was over which was best for all concerned.
Reid has also been placed on supervision for 12 months.
