Giving a police officer a huge kiss on the face after being offered a lift home did not end well for a Blenheim man, who instead got a ride to the police cells.
Constable Michelle Stagg said police were called to Wither Rd at 11.30pm on Saturday after complaints that a party was getting out of control. They found the offender unwilling to leave.
When police offered to take him home, the grateful man grabbed an officer and kissed him on the face, Miss Stagg said. He was promptly arrested for offensive behaviour.
The man's mood turned sour, and he tried to headbutt the officer in the patrol car and kicked him in the shins, she said.
The man also headbutted the perspex screen at a counter at the police station and tried to headbutt a second officer, Miss Stagg said.
She said police found cannabis in the man's pockets.
A 40-year-old unemployed man has been charged with offensive behaviour, assaulting police, resisting arrest and possessing cannabis.
