DUNDEE WOMAN’S CHILLING THREAT: 'I AM GOING TO BURN THE BUILDING DOWN AND BURN HIS CAR’
A drunken woman threatened to torch her “cheating” partner’s car and burn down a flat block during a blazing row.Residents in Dundee’s Charleston were woken at 2am to shouting and swearing from 40-year-old Charlene Nicoll.
Nicoll had attended the block on Craigard Road following a heated phone argument with her partner.
Her solicitor explained that Nicoll had been on the receiving end of “ungentlemanly” remarks from the man.
Dundee Sheriff Court heard how Nicoll was seen standing in the front garden shouting: “I’ll f*****g kill you.” After moving into the common close, she shouted: “He cheated.
He’s going to pay for that.
I am going to burn down the building down and burn his car.” Nicoll, of Drumlanrig Drive, pled guilty to shouting, swearing, threatening violence on March 11.
Her solicitor, Jim Laverty, said Nicoll wanted to apologise to the residents disturbed by her actions.
He told Sheriff John Rafferty: “She lost her job in October and unfortunately she sought the crutch of alcohol.
She had been drinking far too much for her health and wellbeing and has taken this matter up with her GP.
She was involved in a tense telephone conversation with her partner, during which very ungentlemanly comments were made by him.
The red mist then descended.
She is utterly ashamed of herself and how she dealt with the situation.” Nicoll was fined £100.
