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.
