MUNN, RANALD (1968- ) Rogue charity collector, Scoundrel. Munn first came to prominence distributing pens outside Dundee Bus Station in return for donations to Enable, a charity for children with learning difficulties. His modus operandi was to thrust one of his malfunctioning biros into the hand of an unsuspecting passer-by and then harangue his victim with allegations of theft or heartlessness until a suitable donation was forthcoming. This venture came to a sudden end when a young woman, pursued by Munn, tripped on the kerb, striking her head against the sidewalk as she fell. After two years in prison, Munn returned to Dundee. Claiming to have experienced an epiphany while being sexually assaulted by a gargantuan cell mate, he became a Jehovah's Witness. In the guise of a lamb, he resumed his previous career, preying upon the elderly to whom he distributed tracts while slyly extorting money. See also ASQUITH, COLETTE
