Maskless woman allegedly assaults police officer Dog park project
gets funding boost
A WOMAN allegedly assaulted a police officer outside Bayside Shopping Centre last week after being asked to put on a mask. The maskless woman was confronted by police and asked to wear a face covering before a physical altercation occurred. The woman allegedly smashed the head of the 26-year-old policewoman into the concrete and pulled out clumps of her hair. The alleged offender, a 38-year-old, was taken to the nearby police station and charged. She was bailed out. The alleged incident took place on the evening of 3 August. Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Shane Patton shared the story the next day. “That behaviour is just totally unacceptable. That’s someone who thinks they’re above the law,” Mr Patton said. “They’re not wearing a mask. They’re approached and asked the reason why not and then to react like that is just completely over the top. It’s this type of irresponsible behaviour that we’re going to address. “It shows how things can escalate from non-adherence. The message is clear from me and it’s simple. We want you to stay at home. We expect you to adhere to the Chief Health Officer guidelines. If you don’t, we will enforce those. We will issue infringements. We will arrest you. We will detain you where we have to.” Brodie Cowburn
LANGWARRIN will soon be home to a new fenced dog park. The park will be at 95 Southgateway, Langwarrin. The project has been coordinated by the Langwarrin Community Centre Nearly $17,000 in funding through the Dunkley Stronger Communities Program will help the park come to life. Dunkley MP Peta Murphy said “we really love our dogs. And at a time when getting out to exercise with our pets has never been so important, a secure off leash dog park is the perfect location.” “This is great news for our local community and our four legged friends. Congratulations to the Langwarrin Community Centre and the local community on this terrific result,” she said. “For some time Langwarrin locals have been asking for a dedicated, secure off leash dog park, I’m very proud to be supporting them, and their good doggies, with this funding”.
