A KELSO man appeared from custody and admitted stealing a £12 bottle of vodka from a Galashiels supermarket.
John Chapman, 22, was already on deferred sentence for good behaviour and bail when he stole the alcohol from the Co-op store in Gala Park, Galashiels, last Wednesday.
Sheriff Donald Corke deferred sentence until January 14 at Selkirk Sheriff Court and asked for a report from the Borders Community Addiction Team to be produced.
