Failing to pick up dog mess costs owner £700

[dutchman]

A dog walker had to fork out over £700 after failing to pick up her dog’s mess.

The case against Monika Carna was proved in her absence after she failed to show at Coventry Magistrates’ Court.

It was found that the 28-year-old, of Hans Close, Hillfields, failed to clean up after he dog fouled in Swan Lane in July last year.

This meant she had failed to comply with a public spaces protection order without a reasonable excuse.

Carna was fined £440 and ordered to pay £222 court costs and a £44 victim surcharge.
