Charlotte Douglas, 28, had admitted having possession of an illegal SIM card while she was in custody there on February 10 last year.

Sheriff Alison Michie had been minded to defer sentence on Douglas, but the offender herself asked to be placed on supervision.

Noting Douglas, 22 Stoneyacre, Tillicoultry, had a lengthy criminal record, Sheriff Michie placed her on a supervised community payback order for 12 months.
