The stunt failed to amuse Mr Whippy, who feared for his safety and phoned police. Officers responding to the "quite bizarre" incident in Rangiora about 9pm on Saturday were able to easily identify the offender and arrested him for disorderly behaviour. After interviewing him at the police station they decided to release him with a pre-charge warning. "I fully understand the fears of the complainant," Sergeant Colin Stewart said. "[but] it was a drunken antic. We used common sense and saw it as that." Stewart said the man, who is in his 20s, had reportedly emerged from a White St property, revved the chainsaw into life and held it above his head as the ice-cream van went by. "He was shaking it and waving it," he said. Mr Whippy "wasn't travelling at great speed - probably within the 4kmh limit" so the man made chase along the footpath - still holding the running chainsaw. He abandoned the chainsaw before leaping into the van's passenger seat. Stewart said the man was polite. He said hello to the driver before alighting. Police were provided with a description of the offender, namely a man wearing black fishnet stockings. "It made him reasonably easy to identify," Stewart said. When officers made inquiries at the property, the man "put his hand up to it". "He was apologetic. It was more a disorderly behaviour thing than a direct threat [to the driver]." Stewart said the offence was alcohol-fuelled at the end of an unusually hot day. 9 Link to post Share on other sites

samatm 2,994 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 The report is obviously false as we all know Whippy is here on Cebu and he is the one in pursuit not the other way around. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Headshot 29,350 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) The report is obviously false as we all know Whippy is here on Cebu and he is the one in pursuit not the other way around. Judging the fact that they said it was an exceptionally hot day when it happened...and considering that it is anything but hot during December in England...I would say that this happened last summer when Whippy was still in England selling his wares. I had no idea, though, that Paul would travel all the way to England just to scare Whippy. Edited December 13, 2013 by Headshot 4 Link to post Share on other sites
