Elderly couple in Perth airport fracas

18 JAN: A husband and wife in their 70s have been found guilty of disorderly conduct after they raised their voices and allegedly swore at staff in the customs hall of Perth airport, website PerthNow reports today.

The incident occurred in May 2010 as the Australian couple arrived from Bali, where they spend most of the year, but a court resolution came only yesterday.

The court was told than an argument with quarantine staff developed into a slanging match, with the husband being arrested and bundled into a police van after he allegedly made contact with federal police officers.

His wife is alleged to have used the word ‘dickhead’, among other things.

The husband was yesterday acquitted of obstructing Commonwealth officials. The same charge against his wife was dropped earlier.
