Peebles woman swore at police officers in hotel
Lisa Gray, 46, of Kingsland Square, pleaded guilty to a charge of behaving in a threatening or abusive manner in the County Hotel, in High Street, on November 10 by shouting and swearing, making abusive comments and pulling a customer’s hair.
Procurator fiscal Graham Fraser told Selkirk Sheriff Court that if Gray wanted to avoid getting involved in trouble it was not wise to go into a pub drunk and obstructive and start bothering off-duty police officers trying to enjoy a night out.

She called one female officer a “two-faced b****” and a male officer a boring b******.
Mr Fraser added that Gray had pulled one of the officers’ hair in an effort to get attention and was abusive throughout.
She was told repeatedly by the police officers to be quiet but refused to desist, so eventually they paid their bill and left.
It was later discovered that she was in breach of a home curfew.
