Redland Bay woman urinates ‘in full few of public’ at busy car park as cops called for erratic driving

A childcare worker with 20 years’ experience has been sentenced after a slew of calls to authorities from concerned members of the public who observed her driving erratically, stumbling and then urinating in a shopping centre car park.

A court has heard an early learning childcare worker urinated in full view of the public at a busy car park and so concerned residents with her stumbling and erratic driving that multiple Triple-0 calls were made in different suburbs.

Appearing at the Cleveland Magistrates Court on Tuesday Kylie Lisa Cain, 39, pleaded guilty to a string of charges including public urination and two counts of failing to provide a specimen of breath or saliva.

The court heard police fielded multiple calls from concerned residents on May 21 as Cain was observed driving erratically and staggering to and from her vehicle when parked.

Several calls were made after Cain was seen staggering to the doors of McDonald’s at Capalaba and driving off at speed at 6.30pm.

The court was told more calls to Triple-0 followed when at around 6.55pm Cain parked across multiple bays at an “extremely busy” Alexandra Hills Shopping Centre, exited her vehicle, lifted her dress and urinated “in full view of the public”.

The defendant was later arrested at her Marine St residence in Redland Bay where police heard “yelling and screaming” and observed Cain smelled strongly of alcohol.

The court heard Cain told officers she had not been at the venues reports were made from, had instead been at home “for hours” and subsequently refused to provide a breath test.

Police prosecutor Sergeant Angela Tetley said Cain had been captured on CCTV in Capalaba and Alexandra Hills and had endangered many members of the public.

“It was a godsend she didn’t kill anyone going from A to B,” Sgt Tetley said.

An unrepresented Cain said she had been going through a difficult break-up and was adamant she had not been intoxicated behind the wheel.

Rather, the defendant said she had consumed six cans of 12 per cent alcohol at home prior to police arriving.

Cain told the court she suffered from Polycystic ovary syndrome, had worked in childcare for 20 years and was pursuing further study in the industry at TAFE in Southbank.

Magistrate Deborah Vasta said Cain’s behaviour was “way out of line that day” and explained that when a driver refuses to provide a sample of breath after claiming to have gotten drunk at home an immediate blood-alcohol rating of 0.150 per cent applies.

Magistrate Vasta said the law was introduced to counter attempts by drivers trying to game the system.

Cain was convicted and sentenced to two years’ probation and disqualified from driving for nine months.
