Pool cue prank proves painful
‘A man rammed a pool cue into the rectum of a drunken friend with such force it snapped off, leaving 31 centimetres stuck inside his bowel, the Tasmanian Supreme Court in Hobart has been told.
Roofer Matthew Noel Triffett, 21, who’d previously pleaded guilty to a charge of grievous bodily harm, was given a six-month jail sentence, suspended for two years, and was ordered to perform 140 hours of community service. [..]
He said Triffett had used considerable force to thrust the cue into the man’s anus, including lateral force, because it snapped in two. [..]
In crippling pain, the complainant went home and removed the cue from his rectum.
Unable to tolerate the agony any longer, he went to Royal Hobart Hospital three days later and underwent immediate surgery for a perforated colon.’
