The street was teaming with visitors for a rugby club’s fundraiser at a home when the local allegedly dealt with a parking gripe his own way.

Police alleged he jumped fences to try and get away from police, before being found in neighbour Kathryn Butson’s backyard.

She said officers “yelled for him to get down on the ground”.

“It’s concerning,” Butson said.

Neighbour Melissa Boardman said it was “scary”.

“To think there are kids around here and someone has a shotgun you know it’s scary,” she said.
