A woman who urinated behind a car because she could not hold it in time to go to the bathroom, was fined $1000 or 10 days when she appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's court.

Paulette Andrews of a Kingston address pleaded guilty to breaches of the National Solid Waste Management Act when the matter was mentioned on Wednesday before Resident Magistrate Glen Brown.

Allegations are that on January 23 at minutes after 3 p.m., Edwards was walking through a park downtown when she went behind a car and urinated. She was seen by an officer who charged her with the offence.

Edwards said she only urinated there because she could not hold it. "It was right on me, at my feet. I coulden go any further," she said.
