Hide AdSean Iles, procurator fiscal depute, said: “The complainer and another witness were within their home address and heard the sound of smashing coming from their driveway. They looked out the window and saw a female getting into a blue vehicle nearby.
"The witnesses then went outside and saw their motor vehicle had a smashed rear windscreen. They checked their CCTV and saw the accused enter their driveway and pick up a handful of stones – she was holding tool in her right hand.
"She struck the windscreen three times with the tool before throwing it through the rear windscreen.”
Defence solicitor Simon Hutchison said single parent Ferguson had been “having difficulty” with her ex partner.
