BIG Mags Haney’s grand-daughter is facing jail after launching a foul-mouthed tirade at a sheriff and prosecutor last year.
Kim Cowan, formerly known as Kim Haney, lost her temper in the dock after she was remanded in custody at Alloa Sheriff Court, over an alleged theft.
Haney, 37, then appeared in the dock at Falkirk Sheriff Court last Thursday and pleaded guilty to a breach of the peace.
The incident occurred on November 25 after Sheriff Donald Ferguson, at Alloa, had remanded her in custody following a Crown objection to bail by procurator fiscal depute Gail Russell.
Depute fiscal Claire Bremner told the Falkirk hearing there were a number of people on the public benches in the No. 2 court at Alloa when Haney was brought in from the cells.
Miss Bremner said: “The accused was accompanied by G4S personnel and she was double-handcuffed, as per the protocol.
“She pled not guilty. The Crown opposed bail and after hearing from the procurator fiscal depute and the accused’s solicitor, the sheriff remanded her and a co-accused in custody. Miss Cowan interjected, ‘you’re remanding us?’
“She then began to shout, and directing her comments at the sheriff, she shouted ‘f**king b***ard’ and ‘sick c**t’.
“The sheriff instructed G4S to remove Miss Cowan and take her back to the cells. She continued to shout and swear. Police officers attempted to remove her from the dock, while the sheriff rose from the bench and retired to his chambers.”
Cowan then shouted at Miss Russell: “I’m going to f**king kill you, you speccy bitch.”
She kicked out at the dock with her feet and hit the walls.
The depute fiscal added: “She was struggling with the officers, but no attempt was made by her to kick either the police or G4S personnel. She was thereafter removed back to the cell area.”
She was cautioned and char-ged, and replied: “I’m sorry, but I was really shocked at getting the jail.”
Miss Bremner also said: “The procurator fiscal depute involved said that, though she did not show it in court, she was affected by the incident, and was quite shaken up, and alarmed.”
Virgil Crawford, defending, said Cowan had been “concerned” at being remanded as she had a family funeral.
“She accepts she vented her frustration, and ought not to have done,” she said.
Sheriff Craig Caldwell deferred sentence for reports and – refusing bail – remanded Cowan in custody.
