Feral pig eating cannabis leads Queensland police to charge man with drug production

A discovery of a feral pig munching on a cannabis plant has led police to arrest a man allegedly growing the drug on Queensland's Darling Downs.

Police said they were called to a property at Meringandan West, north Toowoomba, 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 later this month charged with drug production and possession.
