In a case of mistaken identity, a Casino man has found himself well and truly busted after giving police what they weren’t even looking for.

Police will allege that in the early hours of last Saturday morning a 25 year old Casino man attended a house in a seriously intoxicated state.

The occupants of the house did not know who he was and called police.

Police arranged for the man to be driven back home, and asked him to produce some identification. Rather than produce a licence or medicare card, the Casino man helpfully handed police 28 grams of cannabis.

The fellow was taken home to his mother. He was also given a Field Court Attendance Notice for ‘Possess Prohibited Drug’ and will appear in Casino Local Court in May.

D’oh!

Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.

Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.

  1. As stupid as this guy seems, it’s just another example of one of many millions of Australians unable to be helped or protected by police because of the deluded police obsession with enforcing out dated cannabis laws.
