From skinned crocodiles to major drug busts, these were the biggest crimes that rocked the Whitsundays in 2020.
Absolute croc
A man took a crocodile to a motel, skinned it, chopped it up and then ate it.
For that he copped fines amounting to almost $10,000.
Paul Andrew Isaacson, from Cannonvale, pleaded guilty in Proserpine Magistrates Court to taking a protected animal and making a false or misleading statement to a conservation officer, after he lied about it.
The court heard the Islands Inn Motel owner, in Mandalay, saw the 47-year-old cutting up the body of a crocodile, on September 18, 2018.
âIt is more blessed to give than to receive.â
This well-known verse from the Bible is something many local residents have recently experienced. In fact, the spirit of giving during the holidays seems to have magnified in recent weeks in the Parkland. Many people have chosen to selflessly give back to their community, and many residents have graciously been on the receiving end of this generosity.
Bonne Terre Save A Lot was at the hub of this generosity around the Thanksgiving holiday. The store often does giveaways on its Facebook page and has weekly drawings where customers deposit their receipts in a designated spot in the store. But that storeâs generosity â led by Manager Clint Price and his hard-working staff â quickly spiraled into something amazing and inspiring.
