A 41-year-old Rosyth woman “lost the plot” with a female neighbour, and shouted, swore and made threats.

Cheryl Little, 41, of Sherbrooke Road, ranted that she would “f****** smash her” and “she’s getting it”.

Little appeared back at Dunfermline Sheriff Court having previously admitted that on January 6 at her home she shouted, swore, struck walls and made threats of violence towards a female.

The court was told the neighbour who was targeted by Little is “bedbound due to paralysis”.

She had been visited by a woman from 7am to 11am. This visitor heard shouting and swearing coming from Little’s home when she arrived, and it was still going on when she left.

As a result of this, the woman contacted the police.

When officers arrived, Little started shouting: “I’m going to f****** smash her. She’s getting it.

“I’m going to go right through that wall. You better lift me or I’m going next door.”

Her behaviour resulted in Little being arrested.

Defence solicitor Alexander Flett previously told the court: “It’s an on-going neighbour dispute. She lives with her three children and her neighbour lives on her own.

“There have been numerous complaints made by the neighbour.”

Mr Flett added that his client “feels she’s been harassed by her neighbour for years”.

He said: “When the police spoke to her, she admits she lost the plot.”

Sheriff Garry Sutherland had deferred sentencing for good behaviour and as Little has stayed out of further trouble, he admonished her.
