Officers in Sydney went to the address after numerous calls were made claiming a woman could be heard screaming hysterically and a man yelling "I'm going to kill you, you're dead. Die! Die!"
Police: We had a report of a domestic and a women screaming, where is she?
Male: I don't know what you're talking about, I live alone.
Police: Come on mate, people clearly heard you yelling you were going to kill her and furniture getting thrown around the unit.
Police: Come on mate, what have you done to her?
Male: It was a spider.
Police: Sorry??
Male: It was a spider, a really big one!! I looked for a tarantula photo, to no avail.
Police: What about the woman screaming?
Male: Yeah sorry that was me, I really, really hate spiders. Or Indiana Jones, with all the spiders on his back.
The police report concluded: "After a very long pause, some laughter and a quick look in the unit to make sure there was no injured party (apart from the spider) we left."

Don't blame him a bit. Considering that Sydney is the home range of the Funnel Web and Red Backed spiders as well as few other beasties.
A regional opposition leader in Venezuela has been shot dead at a campaign rally less than two weeks before parliamentary elections.
The Democratic Action party says Luis Manuel Diaz was killed by a man who approached the stage after a public meeting in central Guarico state. Opposition leaders blamed militias supporting the governing United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV).
President Nicolas Maduro denied this and said an inquiry had been launched.
"The interior ministry has strong indications that it was a clash between rival criminal gangs," said Mr Maduro.
Lilian Tintori, the wife of jailed opposition leader, Leopoldo Lopez, addressed opposition supporters alongside Mr Diaz shortly before the shooting.
The Democratic Action party leader, Henry Ramos Allup, nitially tweeted that Mr Diaz had been killed by gunmen who shot from a passing car. He later rectified and said the shots came from a gunmen who came close to the stage after the rally.
Mr Maduro responded to Mr Ramos Allup's comments by telling him to produce evidence to back up his accusations.
"We must not jump into conclusions," said the president. "And let us not accept any type of provocation!" he urged his supporters during a rally.
The head of Venezuela's Electoral Commission, Luis Emilio Rondon, has also expressed concern over recent incidents of violence. He called for a thorough investigation "to identify the perpetrators and tackle impunity".
Opposition politicians say their candidates have been attacked on numerous occasions in the past weeks. Miguel Pizarro, an opposition politician running for re-election in Caracas, said he was confronted by armed men who shot into the air in the neighbourhood of Petare on Sunday. Miranda state governor Henrique Capriles said he was attacked by a group of masked men in the town of Yare earlier this month. The government has denied any involvement in any of the attacks and accused the opposition of trying to provoke PSUV supporters.

Mistakes happen. The French embassy got bombed during the US raid on Qadaffi (due to exhaustion from having to fly around the Frogs) and the Chinese embassy got bombed during the Balkans campaign (might've been the China Cultural Radio broadcasts being mistaken for intel data feeds to the Serbs...)

I vaguely recall a report from the 1990s where the USA bombed a Yugo factory under the assumption it produced munitions. That mistake was probably a public service.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
