Dundee Woman Denies Being Drunk While In Charge Of A Pram

Published 24th Sep 2015

A 35-year-old Dundee woman is set to go on trial after being accused of being drunk in charge of a pram.

Fiona Winter is alleged to have wilfully exposed a toddler to the risk of injury by losing control of the pram and pushing it into the path of traffic.

She's accused of being under the influence of drink or drugs while she was supposed to have responsibility for the three-year-old girl.

She is alleged to have exposed the girl to the likelihood of unnecessary suffering or injury to health by pushing her in a pram at Leonard Street and Perth railway station on 23 April.

It is alleged she failed to control the pram properly and placed the child at risk by pushing the pram out onto the road without looking to check it was safe. Winter is alleged to have pushed the pram into the path of oncoming vehicles.

She denied the charge during an intermediate diet at Perth Sheriff Court and the trial is expected to be heard next month.
