Arrest after officer bitten

A 39-year-old unemployed woman has been arrested in Blenheim for allegedly biting a police officer on the hand yesterday morning.

Constable Michelle Stagg, of Blenheim, said the woman was charged with disorderly behaviour, resisting arrest and assaulting police after an incident on Kinross St about 8.45am.

A 56-year-old woman was also arrested for obstructing police at the incident, she said.

Six other arrests were made overnight.

A 22-year-old man was arrested at 2.50pm after allegedly stealing a Ford Courier. Miss Stagg said the man had failed to return the vehicle, which he had taken for a test drive, on May 4.

She said the man also faces two charges of theft after he allegedly drove off without paying for petrol at BP Wanaka on May 5 and Challenge Picton on May 9.
