Woman finds drug man ‘shooting up’ in her living room

A Dundee man was jailed after injecting himself with heroin in another person’s house and then refusing to leave when asked.

Douglas Laidlaw, 35, of Jessie Devlin Close House, Soapwork Lane, admitted that, between August 27 and August 29, at a property in Tulloch Court, he behaved in a threatening or abusive manner.

The court heard he caused damage to the furnishings, refused to leave the property when asked to do so, injected a substance in the presence of the occupier and threatened her with violence.

The court heard that Laidlaw claimed he had mistaken the occupier’s house with his brother’s property.

When the occupier returned to her house, Laidlaw was with another male sitting on the sofa.

Laidlaw was later taken from the property by police. He was jailed for a year.
