Police
Arrested by mistake
‘Drunk as a skunk’
Makoura College student Peter Hing Jr had just finished playing basketball at lunchtime when he was surrounded by half a dozen police offers and arrested twice for a crime he did not commit. On October 25, Peter was grabbed by his shirt, pushed against a school fence, and handcuffed when police officers mistook him for an 18-year-old robbery suspect who had fled from police earlier in the day.
Former Wairarapa police officer John Woodward, who is risking it all to shed light on a toxic culture of bullying in the police force, told the Times-Age that police “stubbornness” resulted in a serial drink-driver getting off the hook. The driver crashed into a power pole on Western Lake Rd in 2017. Woodward, the charging officer who soon after left the force, wasn’t asked to give evidence in court and as a result the drink-driving charge was dropped.

Court
UCOL makes Taratahi proposal
Former soldier sentenced
UCOL has put in a proposal to run primary sector training at Taratahi’s Wairarapa campus. However, it is unclear how both entities will be affected by the government’s announcement that a national body will take over New Zealand’s 16 polytechnics in a transition process beginning in 2020.
Inside
Masterton District Court heard how poor mental health drove Daniel Thomas Brown, 37, a former New Zealand soldier, to steal thousands of dollars’ worth of personal items from the Linton military barracks. He also stole from co-workers at the Carterton Paua Factory where he worked after being dishonourably discharged from the military in 2012. He was sentenced on 30 charges to home detention and community work.
