THE Tory MP son of Bake Off star Prue Leith is to appear in court after his lockdown puppy chased deer in a park.
Danny Kruger was due before magistrates today but his legal team got the hearing pushed back two weeks.
The Old Etonian, 46, could be fined £200.
He was elected MP for Devizes in Wiltshire in 2019 but lives in Hammersmith, West London, with wife Emma and their three children.
He bought his Jack Russell during the first lockdown last year and had taken Pebble on a family walk in Richmond Park.
He told The Sun: “No animal was hurt and I quickly got him back on his lead. I am very sorry for any distress we caused the deer.”
Mr Kruger will face Wimbledon JPs, charged under Royal Parks regulations.
He is 81-year-old Prue’s son with late husband Rayne Kruger.
