Drugs (and Drink) Are Bad....Mmmmh OK

Was just about to open a bottle of fine French red until I read this in the EEN:

Drunk mistook bin bag for wolf

Police rushed to an emergency call after a man mistook a black bin bag in his sitting room for a wolf.

Drunken Lawrence Eaton, 50, armed himself with a knife and fled his house after seeing what appeared to him to be a wild animal crouched in the corner of his room.

The ex-lorry driver ran to a phone box and begged for police to come to help.

Police with dogs were sent to investigate came across Eaton in the street carrying a kitchen knife. But on searching his house they found only a black bin bag and realised Eaton had become confused in his drunken state.

They charged him with possession of a knife after spotting him carrying the eight-inch blade in Holyrood Road, near his Dumbiedykes home.

He was fined £150 at Edinburgh Sheriff Court yesterday.

The court heard that Eaton suffered from alcohol problems and had psychological difficulties at the time of September's incident.

His solicitor Iain Tweedie said: "He had the knife because he believed there was a wild animal in his house and there was no intention to use it against anyone in the street."

Eaton, of Viewcraig Street, hopes to regain his haulage licence so he can resume his career as a long-distance lorry driver later this year.


Perhaps it was real:
