Arrested twice in two days

A MAN recently released from prison has been arrested for the second time in as many days, after allegedly becoming ‘‘drunk and and abusive’’ at a Dunedin library.

Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said police were called about 10.45am on Friday after a 49yearold man was asked to leave Dunedin

Hospital due to his behaviour.

The man allegedly became threatening to staff and was escorted out by police.

After the man left, he went to the Dunedin Public Library where he continued to be drunk and abusive, Snr Sgt Bond said.

Police attended and the man was arrested.

He was also arrested on Thursday after an alleged episode of disruptive behaviour at Dunedin Central Police Station, which took place only hours after he was released from Otago Corrections Facility.
