Police to say sorry to million
TERRITORY police will apologise to multimillionaire Warren Anderson for stopping him at gunpoint.
The move is a bid to stave off a claim for damages.
Deputy Commissioner Bruce Wernham said last night he was willing to talk to the developer.
He said he had written to Mr Anderson in October 2004 "expressing sincere regret" -- and was willing to say sorry again.
As reported in yesterday's Northern Territory News, Mr Anderson is pursuing a case against police.
He has already received apologies from Chief Minister Clare Martin and former local government minister John Ah Kit, and has been paid $100,000 in damages over a failed animal cruelty prosecution.
He is suing the police in the Supreme Court for unspecified damages.
Mr Anderson was stopped by constables Zoe Dobson and Adam Beecham on the Stuart Highway in November 2003.
He had flown into Darwin to refute allegations that he had starved exotic animals at his Tipperary wildlife sanctuary, 200km south of Darwin.
Mr Anderson said he was "manhandled" and Constable Dobson "jabbed" a pistol into his back.
The police officer said in an affidavit that she was acting in good faith after being ordered by the police communications office to make a "hostile apprehension" of the businessman.
Mr Anderson had a licensed rifle in a locked case on the back seat of his hired four-wheel-drive.
