Drunken Aussie antics try police patience

By: Malcolm Gayfer | New Zealand News | Monday August 13 2012 15:53

 

The drunken antics of some Australians are trying the patience of Queenstown Police.

There has been another raft of incidents involving mostly young Aussie holiday makers.

In one instance a man on a commercial jet boat ride stripped down to his birthday suit and jumped into the freezing waters of the Kawarau River.

Another man was arrested and put in the cells for eating someone else's pie at a popular downtown bakery.

The man had previously been kicked out of a next door burger bar for being drunk.

A 30-year old man was also found 'dead to the world' on the floor of the Queenstown Airport terminal early yesterday morning.

Police say the man had no idea how he got there.
