Our thanks to Nick for this. The end of the piece:
Will admitted to wasting police time and causing their publicly-funded resources to be diverted unnecessarily at the sheriff court yesterday.
Sheriff Morag McLaughlin released the 20-year-old on bail to allow for the preparation of a social work report. [J4MB: A common precursor to no punishment.]
She has previously pleaded guilty to crimes including threatening to kill police officers and threatening to damage a police station and will be sentenced in connection with those offences at a later date.
Will also has an earlier conviction for making false emergency calls.
