A drunken person was arrested by police in Tulagi for damaging the counter of a canteen at Salesapa village, Central province on 17th Nov.
Police Commissioner Mostyn Mangau said the incident happened on 13th Nov around 10 am in the morning.
During this time, the suspect was drunk and entered the victim’s private area without consent.
He then threw half a brick towards front of the canteen that was attached to the dwelling house of the victim causing damage to the counter of the canteen.
The motive behind this issue was that the suspect disagreed that the complainant delayed his payment.
This matter was reported to the police and the suspect was arrested and is being dealt with by the police.
Mangau said issues like this comes back to us people in the sense that we must have an understanding that it’s better to approach each other when we have any disagreements rather than resorting to drinking alcohol and taking the laws into our own hands while under the influence of alcohol.
