Cannabis-munching feral pig led to police arresting man for drug production

A feral pig munching on a cannabis plant has led to police in Australia arresting a man allegedly growing the drug.

Police said they were called to a property at Meringandan West, north Toowoomba, Queensland, last Wednesday to investigate a disturbance.



There, they said they discovered the feral pig chewing leafy green material, which turned out to be cannabis. Due to the size of the pig, officers did not try to seize the plants.

A 1.6-metre-tall plant and 140 grams of the drug were eventually recovered, police said. A 44-year-old man will appear in the Oakey Magistrates Court on October 21 charged with drug production and possession.
