A witness intimidation charge has been brought against a Wigan man.

David Meehan, 41, of Springfield Road, Springfield, stood before borough magistrates facing the single charge of attempting to pervert the course of justice by threatening a named woman between January 1 and June 30, believing her to be a court case witness.

He has yet to enter a plea and the bench sent the case to Bolton Crown Court where Meehan will first appear before a judge on February 28.

Before then he has been remanded on unconditional bail.
