The most senior police official involved in the arrest of Latrell Mitchell and Jack Wighton has been accused of concocting a “total and utter fantasy” after admitting his memory failed him during a courtroom grilling over the incident.
Sergeant David Power, in the witness box on the second day of the hearing at ACT Magistrates Court, admitted key details he provided in the case did not occur. Power had previously alleged he kicked Wighton out of Fiction nightclub after he saw the NRL star with clenched fists, anger in his face and holding a man by the shirt.
“What I saw appears to have not happened and my memory has failed me,” Power said, adding that he had not intentionally misled the court.
