A Roxburgh dealer convicted of 20 drug charges says he was in the throes of addiction when he smeared dog faeces on a woman’s face. Benson Conrad Jeffery, 42, appeared in the Dunedin District Court this week after offering to sell small amounts of cocaine, ecstasy and cannabis. About 11 people were thought to be involved throughout Central Otago and the quantities of each drug were unknown. "Sometimes it was only a puff being exchanged," counsel Sarah Saunderson Warner said.

A judge told an Oamaru man charged with arson his "heat of the moment" decision to torch a car was totally unwarranted. On November 8, Dwyton Samuel Thomson, 48, had been drinking vodka for much of the afternoon, the Oamaru District Court heard this week. When three associates arrived at 11pm, Thomson became racially abusive, inciting violence that would bring the evening to a fiery end. Thomson and one of the men got into a physical altercation, both sustaining minor injuries.
