Lashed out after no ride

A woman denied a ride to Balclutha by police ended up spending the night in the cells after allegedly attacking a nearby campervan.

The 45-year-old arrived at the Dunedin Central Police Station at 12.30am yesterday to ask for a lift home to Balclutha, Sergeant Simon Reay said.

Officers denied her request and, in response, the woman went to the nearby Woolworths carpark and allegedly began punching and kicking a campervan.

Police headed over and arrested her for disorderly behaviour, Sgt Reay said.

She was held in police custody overnight and charged with breaching bail, disorderly behaviour and resisting police. — Allied Media
