Rundell, from Bridgeton, Glasgow was represented by Isobel Allan who entered a not guilty plea on her behalf.
The case was continued for Carr, from Sandyhills for four weeks without any plea being entered.

It is alleged that on February 27, that year, Paterson and Smith made threatening and abusive remarks and behaved in a threatening and abusive manner and attempted to bang a door.
Carr and Paterson are accused of making threatening and abusive remarks on March 2, 2015 while Kilcullen and Rundell are said to have done the same on March 17, which was aggravated by disability prejudice.

Scott allegedly “wrapped a vest or similar item” around Mary Ann Caldewell’s hand on March 2 and assaulted her.
