Drug and Organised Crime Detectives have had an unusual encounter with a member of the local Hells Angels motorcycle club.
The 34 year old was apprehended on Tiger Brennan Drive allegedly travelling at 130kmh in a 100kmh zone on his motorcycle yesterday afternoon.
When apprehended the man displayed very erratic behaviour including exposing his genitals to passing traffic and throwing his shoes and clothing, including his Hells Angels vest, at Police.
He also made strange comments to the Detectives including:
“If we were in Serbia you would get shot.”
As a result of his behaviour Police conducted a Drug Driving Test which subsequently resulted in the man being ordered to supply a blood sample for analysis.
Detective Senior Sergeant Peter Schiller said the man was arrested and later charged with:
Drug Driving
Assault Police
Exceed Speed Limit, 31-45km/h over limit
Indecent Exposure
Disorderly Behaviour in a Public Place

“Police just never know who they are going to meet and what they are going to have to deal with in this line of work.” Detective Senior Sergeant Schiller said.
The man has been bailed to appear in the Darwin Magistrates Court at a later date.
