The culprit had just been released from jail hours earlier. When the employee challenged Leigh Crichton about stealing the cakes, she was grabbed by the hair and struck on the head. Crichton, 29, from Dundee, has now been given another jail sentence at Dunfermline Sheriff Court. She admitted that on November 8, 2019, at Stephens the Bakers, High Street, Dunfermline, she stole a quantity of cakes. She also admitted she assaulted a female employee by seizing her by the hair, striking her on the head and body, and scratching her to her injury. The court heard Crichton had been released from a jail sentence that day and by 4pm, was causing this incident in Dunfermline.
A FLASHER who exposed himself to women in separate incidents in the Fordell estate, just outside Dunfermline, has still to be sentenced. One woman was out walking and the other was having a run through woodlands when Peter Steedman exposed himself. Steedman, 56, of South Lodge Farm, St Davids, Hillend, admitted the offences back in October at Dunfermline Sheriff Court but sentencing has been delayed again for further reports. He admitted that on April 24, at an embankment in Fordell Estate, he exposed his genitals intentionally in a sexual manner to a woman so that she would see them. On the same day, at Fordell Woods, he exposed his genitals intentionally in a sexual manner to another woman so that she would see them.
Cegina Maia, 42, then gave a false name twice to police officers. Maia appeared from custody at Dunfermline Sheriff Court. She admitted that on December 22, at Torridon Place, Rosyth, she resisted two police officers, struggled with them, made her body go limp repeatedly, fell to the floor and refused to move. She also admitted that on December 23, at Dunfermline police station, she gave a false name and attempted to pervert the course of justice. Depute fiscal Laura McManus said Maia was living with her partner in Torridon Place at the time of the incident. There was a disturbance which resulted in Maia phoning the police. When they attended having made some inquiries with her partner, the officers arrested the accused.
