A cheating dad of six dumped his family to shack up with a female neighbour after stealing benefit cash for baby milk and spending it on booze and fags.
Meikle, who has moved in with a neighbour and lives 100 yards away from his marital home, appeared before a sheriff in Kilmarnock after Tracey, 43, discovered the Healthy Start account had been plundered. When they knocked on the door, he told them he had the card in his pocket and they confiscated it. A friend of Tracey’s, who contacted the Record, said Meikle has been lying low and has had virtually no contact with his six children despite living so close.
At Kilmarnock Sheriff Court last month, Meikle was ordered to pay Tracey £500 compensation for the fraud. The charge against him stated he showed up at a garage in Kilwinning with the Healthy Start card, which he said was his.
