Community service for wombat rape claim
By TRACY NEAL - The Nelson Mail | Thursday, 27 March 2008

A Motueka man who claimed to have been left speaking Australian after being raped by a wombat has been sentenced to 75 hours' community work for his trouble.

Arthur Ross Cradock, a 48-year-old orchard worker, admitted in the Nelson District Court yesterday to the charge of using a phone for a fictitious purpose, after calling police with the message, 'I've been raped by a wombat'.

Police prosecutor Sergeant Chris Stringer told the court that on the afternoon of February 11 Cradock called the police communications centre, threatening to "smash the filth" if they arrived at his home that night.

When asked if he had an emergency, he replied "yes", Mr Stringer said.

On a second subsequent call to the communications centre, Cradock told police he was being raped by a wombat at his Motueka address, and sought their immediate help.

He called police again soon after, and gave his full name, saying he wanted to withdraw the complaint.

"I'll retract the rape complaint from the wombat, because he's pulled out,'' Cradock told the operator at the communications centre, who had no idea what he was talking about, Mr Stringer said.

"Apart from speaking Australian now, I'm pretty all right you know, I didn't hurt my bum at all,'' Cradock then told the operator.

Mr Stringer said alcohol had played a big part in Cradock's life. However, defence lawyer Michael Vesty said alcohol was not a problem that day.

Judge Richard Russell said he was not quite sure what motivated Cradock to make those statements to the police.

In sentencing, he warned Cradock not to do it again

I like the bit about being ok...except for speaking Australian. I'm going to have to check my health plan and see if "speaking Australian" is covered.

Alcoholic hallucinosis, to be exact, although it generally doesn't take such an amusing turn.

[AlabamaJack]

that goes along with delirium tremors doesn't it?

No, they're separate conditions, although you can have hallucinations with the DT's. The DT's are much more serious, and some small percentage of the people who get them die, even with treatment.

LOL, the eye droppers are supposed to a carring container as to not arrous suspician. You're suposed to drop it under your tongue, not eyes. People are silly. :lol:

And the good old days are still here....you just have to look REAAAALLLY hard and carefully to find them.

[QuadShotz]

Yeah, I had friends who'd do drops in the eye, since the optic nerve is there, it's practically an instant hit. :D
