A 29 year old male was arrested after being ejected from the Water Bar. He thought it was a good idea to go back and have a crack at the door staff. Police thought it a good idea to put him in a cell to cool off and sober up. He will be facing a charge of disorderly behaviour. In an unusual job, police dealt with a male who over-indulged while celebrating his 26th birthday. Police were called to a local residence after the occupier found the male in their kitchen eating food from the fridge. Apparently he was so boozed that despite getting the right house number, he didn’t realise he was on the wrong street. These incidents could have been prevented. If you are out with someone who is clearly on their way, then "man up", tell them to take it easy, and have a break from drinking. Our local Search and Rescue team had a chopper ride to the top of the Lindis on Sunday after a helicopter beacon was set off. A solo pilot mustering sheep had to put his machine down in the snow. Fortunately no one was hurt. Goes to show the value of rescue beacons if you are out and about in our beautiful countryside. In one of the strangest / luckiest vehicle crashes I have been to in my 11 years in the police, a Hawea local passed out while at the wheel of his van as he pulled into his driveway. The driver fell unconscious, leaving his vehicle to career out of control 190 metres down a bank, across an empty section. After smashing through a few fences, it came to rest in a neighbours lounge, via the ranch-sliders. Incredibly, despite being at 8.00pm, no one was injured. It seems the driver fainted after a prolonged day at work without eating. I would like to thank the people whose house was extensively damaged for being so forgiving towards the driver, who was very upset at the carnage he had caused. I see this incident as the perfect excuse to get down to the local bakery and grab a pie for smoko. All jokes aside, it is imperative that if you feel unwell at the wheel, pull over immediately. A positive comment from the office today: "it seems people are driving to the conditions as there are very few people speeding around Wanaka these days". That is what I like to hear. Our own families use these roads too and it is great to see the message is finally getting through that speed kills. As part of a National campaign over the next few weeks, we will be out targeting those failing to wear their seat belts. A $150 fine is a sure-fire way to ruin your day when a simple action could have prevented it. If you have any information pertaining to the incidents above please call the Station on 03 443 7272 to speak to an Officer, or to give information anonymously, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Buckle-up and drive safely. Have a great week in our chilly piece of paradise.
