A drunk man who claimed he had a gun in his vehicle while in a Dunedin pub caused a police callout yesterday.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said police were called to the Waterloo Hotel in Hillside Rd at 4.45pm after a 65-year-old man became intoxicated.
The man told patrons of the bar he had a gun in his vehicle and then refused to leave when asked.
Police attended and spoke to the man and searched his vehicle. No firearms were found.
He was trespassed and forbidden to drive.
