”He had a nest made up in the tree, and he was only laying a metre above the water and there were crocs in the water so he has done well to survive.Once we had seen how bad he was and how many cuts he had all over him and he was dehydrated and pretty weak … we thought we had better get him in the boat,” Joiner said.
They helped the man into their boat and gave him a beer while Faust gave him his shorts.
However, it later turned out that Luke was actually on the run from police after being freed on bail after facing multiple charges including armed robbery and aggravated assault. Once the trio reached the hospital, police placed him under arrest for allegedly skipping bail. He was remanded and is scheduled to appear before court on 9 February.
