A Wanganui man cannot remember calling police to falsely report he had shot someone three times.
Grant Michael Cunningham appeared yesterday in the Whanganui District Court where he pleaded guilty to a criminal nuisance charge.
The court heard that on July 29 Cunningham was drinking at his home in Victoria Ave and had become intoxicated.
He made a phone call to police, making claims he had shot someone three times and had several firearms in his possession, Police prosecutor Sergeant Rachel Willemsen told the court.
Four armed police, including a dog handler, had responded to his call, given the possible threat to public safety.
