Sheriff Jonathan Guy said: “Why should she be given another chance? There has to come a point enough is enough.”
Her lawyer said: “She has no outstanding matters. My understanding is she just keeps coming back to court not complying with this order.
“She would be in a position to pay a fine. She’s not fit to do unpaid work due to her physical and mental health.”
Sheriff Guy told her: “You pleaded guilty to a serious offence.
With the previous disposal, unfortunately, you have not complied for a variety of reasons. I’m not going to send you to prison. I will impose a financial penalty.”
Smith was fined £270.
The sheriff added: “It is a significant amount for your non-compliance.”
