‘Enraged’ son dobs dad in for ‘torching cannabis plants’ http://ab.co/29wLVpp – via @abcnews

An irate man has called police to complain that his father destroyed his cannabis plants during a domestic dispute in the Northern Territory.

“Things came to a head yesterday evening and the father allegedly threw all of his son’s cannabis plants onto the bonfire and completely destroyed them,” Duty Superintendent Jorgensen said.

“This enraged the son, he called us and told us everything basically.”

Police said officers arrived at the property and could only shake their heads while the son gathered up his remaining property and left to stay with relatives.

“The evidence has been destroyed as has the son’s reputation… people don’t usually come forward to say their drug stash has been destroyed or stolen but there you go,” the police woman said.

Well made me smile…

Duty Superintendent Jorgensen of the Northern Territory certainly gets called out to some interesting, and often amusing, jobs.

Here’s a few more :

Duty Superintendent Louise Jorgensen advises that around 2.45am police received a call from the proprietor of the Humpty Doo Hotel. She was concerned about a small donkey, pony and a cow that were in the hotel area and running onto the Arnhem Hwy. Apparently the donkey and the cow were following the pony.

A bit later on she corralled them into the yard at the rear of the hotel. They are still there – so if you lost them – that’s where they can be located. At the pub.

In a separate incident, police were called to a residence in Johnston at Palmerston after a woman reported her front window flyscreen had been ripped off and she feared the house was about to be entered by an intruder.

“At the same time, the husband jumped in the car to chase the intruder they believed had run into the darkness,” Superintendent Jorgensen said.

“The cavalry was dispatched but called off a short time later when the husband reported he had caught the culprit, the neighbourhood cat.”

The bees swarmed and stung him on the face three times.
The man had minor swelling and pain, but was otherwise uninjured.
Jorgensen said the bees were more of an issue than the wreckage initially, as emergency services are not equipped with beekeeping hats as part of their personal protection.

Duty superintendent Louise Jorgensen said: “He actually flicked the fish into his face and the venomous back spine of the fish lodged in the side of his head.

“While he was writing in pain and bleeding everywhere, the friend actually took the catfish and was admiring it.

“I am not quite sure he appreciated it.”

We’re not sure if they are still fishing buddies after the ‘attack’.
