Man storms into police station and asks for his confiscated drugs back - after crashing his car into a fire hydrant outside.

A man who emerged from a crashed car outside a police station to allegedly ask for his seized drugs back has been arrested for the second time in as many days.

Police say a car drove on to a footpath, through a garden bed and into the hydrant outside Richmond Police Station in Melbourne about 3.30pm on Saturday.

The male passenger got out of the vehicle while police say the female driver reversed into a car park next door.

Police allege the Croydon South man, 59, told officers he was there to retrieve drugs seized from him when he was arrested the day before.

He was arrested after police searched him and his car and allegedly found a substance believed to be heroin.

The man was charged with possess drug of dependence and breach of bail.

A police spokesman told Daily Mail Australia the man had not been aggressive towards officers and simply 'wandered in' to the station.

The female driver, 57 and also from Croydon South, was taken to hospital and will be interviewed at a later date over drug driving related offences and dangerous conduct.

Well, as you are sure that this event did happen, and you have 'evidence' why are you asking "could anyone be this stupid" when you have advised us that somebody is that stupid?

Years ago when I was in uniform, I arrested this bloke in his mid-fifties, completely nude, while he was walking up the steps of the State's, Parliament House. When we got back to Phillip Street, during my ROI, I asked him his reasons why?

He loudly remonstrated with me; saying could I show him any offence where it stated that he couldn't walk nude, into the public gallery of the State's Parliament? I was later instructed to take him to the Calum Park Admission Centre, thank goodness!

O sung Wu,

A policeman's lot might not be a happy one, but if certainly is not a boring one.

Hi o sung wu. Do you know if such a place still exists? I know the large one in Gladesville went years ago.

Do you know what they do with such people today?

Hi there TTBN...

It's rather good really if there wasn't a mix of humour of the 'I don't believe it' type, I reckon we'd all go mad! As you'd appreciate, humour was an important component of the job. Otherwise, there'd be many blokes and ladies having breakdowns and suffer from depression.

Hi there HASBEEN...

Mate, I can't tell you. I think 'the Park' closed well before Gladesville, as it should have, with part of it built like a gaol. Parramatta had been open well after Gladesville closed, we used to take a short cut through Parramatta Psychiatric Centre on our way to the gaol. It's been a while though mate?

The two biggest such 'Parks', Sydney & Melbourne have become so large that it has become unviable to put a fence around them.

Were not all the mental hospitals closed down, including the Kenmore one at Goulburn. I seem to remember some bloke called Vincent being involved as advisor to the NSW state government.

I think most mental patients are in community houses and have full time carers, but not too sure of the actual set up. Don't know how they get treatment but have heard rumours of carers taking the patients pension money for themselves.

I do not think the new system is any better than the old.

Are all these patients real mental illness affected or are many as I suspect, spoiled brats who don't want to pull their weight ?

indy please! very real illness exists in this area and victims are mostly good people your bleak world thankful only exists in your head'
RUOK?
Yes we no longer do as much as we once didin this area and that is sad

As so many other conditions, mental illness too has been hijacked by exploitation. Getting all twisted up for not getting your way is not mental illness, it's a gross lack of self-discipline. No department or whatever institution required for that. There's just too much feigning & too many fall for it at huge expense & disruption to society.
The genuine cases are swept out of sight whilst the fakes get all the attention.
