A nightmare neighbour breached her anti-social behaviour order by hosting a rowdy party to celebrate her 30th birthday during lockdown.
Bobby Gibson was caught with more people in her Whitfield Rise home than she was allowed on February 19.
She is subject to a strict order preventing her from playing loud music, shouting and having more than two people in her house.
Neighbours’ email to police
Guests who attended Gibson’s home were issued with fixed penalty notices by police for breaking lockdown restrictions.
Dundee Sheriff Court heard how fed-up neighbours sent an email to police to report excessive noise at 10.30pm on the night in question.
When officers attended nobody was present but four females later attended the address to collect their belongings.
At 1.50am, Gibson attended a police office looking for her house keys.
The court heard she was cautioned and charged and made no response.
Gibson pleaded guilty to breaching the terms of her anti-social behaviour order, granted in March 2018, by playing a sound producing device likely to cause alarm and distress as well as having more than two people in her property.
She also contravened coronavirus regulations by hosting a gathering in her home.
‘She should not have had those people in her house’
Defence solicitor Doug McConnell said: “She previously had a bad start to the order but had done well in keeping to it.
“It was her 30th birthday. People had attended to deliver presents to her.
“She should not have had those people in her house. About five people had attended.
“She should not have been anywhere near this notwithstanding the Covid-19 situation.
“She is a single mother and relies on support from her family.”
Sheriff Alastair Carmichael deferred sentence on Gibson for social work reports to be prepared.
Gibson is due to return to court in April.
