Be warned … pretending to be a statue won’t fool Kingaroy police!
Officer-in-charge of Kingaroy Police, Senior Sergeant David Tierney, said at 11:30am on Sunday police attended a house in Murray Parade looking for a wanted person.
“A 26-year-old Kingaroy man was seen by police standing in the bedroom holding a box and pretending to be a statue,” Snr Sgt Tierney said.
The man allegedly continued to stand like this despite repeated requests from police to unlock the security door; he then ran from the house and was arrested.
He will appear in Kingaroy Magistrates Court on May 25 charged with obstructing police.
