A woman who was caught with heroin in her possession has had her sentence deferred for reports.
Paula Ryan, 39, of Balerno Place, was caught with 0.2g of the Class A drug at her home on October 17.
Solicitor Jim Caird asked for leniency as it was Ryan’s first drug-related offence. She has a number of previous convictions, including one for shoplifting.
Adjourning the case until January 24, Sheriff Lorna Drummond said: “I will get a report to tell me about your background and what’s going on in your life.”
