In addition to the woman arrested after falling off her horse while drunk, Proserpine police charged two men for alleged public nuisance offences in town this week.

A 40-year-old Strathdickie man was arrested on May 25 after he allegedly threatened the owner of a residential property where he was sleeping without permission.

Police said the man was found in the early evening sleeping near the rear of the property, and made the threats upon being woken.

A 40-year-old Goodna man was arrested on May 26 after a number of businesses including a bank and bakery reported him just after 8am for behaving aggressively towards staff, kicking bins and chairs, and generally creating a disturbance.

 

Drug bust

Proserpine police also seized quantities of cannabis and methamphetamine and various drug utensils after executing a search warrant at a Spalla Drive address on May 25.

A 25-year-old Proserpine woman and a 26-year-old Kelsey Creek man were charged with drug offences including possession of a dangerous drug, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug utensils.

They will appear at Proserpine Magistrates Court on June 14.
