A woman threatened to burn down Glasgow City Council and a homeless charity.

Kathleen Crossan went to the Elder Street project, an organisation supporting women who face homelessness, at 2am on April 13 last year.

She approached two workers, who told them she should return during office hours, when they could help her.

But the 45-year-old wouldn't leave the reception area and became increasingly irate.

She started shouting, and screaming and threatened to burn down Glasgow City Council and the homeless project.

She said: “I am going to kick everyone’s c**** in”.

The staff became alarmed and notified police, who arrived at 5.45am.

Crossan was arrested, to which she replied: “I am not guilty and I have got loads of evidence”. 

She was arrested again at 1.30am on July 17, 2023, after she became agitated at Leverndale Hospital, where she was a patient.

The Carmyle resident pushed a nurse into a bedframe, causing injuries.

She appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court this week after she pleaded guilty to assaulting the medical staff, behaving aggressively and uttering threats.

Sheriff Allan McKay said: "I read the social work report. She is subject to a fairly intense intervention at the moment and appears to be doing really well."

Crossan's solicitor replied: "[At the time of the offence], she was not well, she tried to reach out.

"Since, she is doing everything she can and her life is on an upward trajectory.

"She accepts this is a serious matter."

The sheriff responded: "She was a patient at the hospital and a bed-holder at the refuge. I do sympathise with her."

He then addressed Crossan: "You are doing well and thank goodness for that but you are getting to that stage when the chance of you going to prison is very high."

Sentence was deferred for six months for good behaviour.
