Subscriber only A Proserpine man allegedly had to be restrained by police after he started throwing items at the hospital. Proserpine police officer-in-charge Mark Flynn said police were called to Proserpine Hospital about 11.40am on Thursday after reports a man was causing a disturbance. Police allege the 47-year-old man became aggressive and was throwing hospital gear and kicked a garbage bin. Senior Sergeant Flynn said police had to restrain the Proserpine man. The man was charged with public nuisance and was scheduled to appear in the Proserpine Magistrates Court at a later date.
Marijuana and utensils found Police discovered 17g of marijuana and various implements during a search at a property on Spalla Dve in Proserpine.
Sen-Const Rowe said Davis had a history of similar offences. The 26-year-old man pleaded guilty to four charges including possessing dangerous drugs and permitting a place to be used for the commission of a crime. Lawyer Peta Vernon, acting for Davis, said he had been diagnosed with Asperger s syndrome and had some history of drug use, but it was not extensive. He admits obviously that he s a cannabis user, she said. He has been honest with police to his own detriment. Ms Vernon said Davis was unemployed but was actively looking for work. Due to the small quantity found and the lapse in time since his last offence then a fine could be imposed, Ms Vernon said.
