Two British parents have been fined after police found them drunk in charge of their baby at a Gibraltar bar.
Bradley Skeats, 42, and partner Rosie Richardson-Jones, 35, were arrested after admitting they had been drinking all day with the child sat in a pram.
They spent the night in custody as the tot was looked after by the authorities' care team.
Police were tipped off by a worried member of the public concerned for the welfare of the infant on Sunday night.
They were both ordered to pay £200 after they pleaded guilty to a charge of being Intoxicated While in Charge of a Child.
The pair admitted their drunken state to police as a safeguarding plan is put in place for the nine month old.
Skeats and Richardson-Jones both appeared at the island's court on Tuesday.
A police statement said they were arrested after slurring their words to officers.
It read: "A local couple have each been fined £200 after they pleaded guilty to a charge of being Intoxicated While in Charge of a Child.
"At around 1800hrs on Sunday 26 March, officers received a call from an anonymous member of the public to the effect that a couple were drunk outside a bar on Waterport Road. Between the couple was a baby in a pram.
"When officers spoke individually to Rosie Richardson-Jones, 35, and Bradley Skeats, 42, they appeared intoxicated, to slur their words and to be unable to grasp the seriousness of their actions.
"They were arrested after admitting that they had been drinking all afternoon.
"The couple were detained overnight in Police custody and appeared before the Magistrates’ Court this morning.
"The RGP’s Safeguarding Team and the Care Agency are working together to put a safeguarding plan in place for the nine month-old baby."
As an British Overseas Territory, Gibraltar is ruled under UK law.
