A British police constable, PC Jack Waeghemacker, is found guilty of gross misconduct following an international incident in the Netherlands. According to reports, he was travelling via Holland on his way to France to smoke cannabis when he bought a joint from a coffee shop and took three puffs. He then experienced a severe reaction described as a cannabis hallucination, which led him to believe his ex-wife was trying to kill him. The incident escalated and drew attention beyond the UK, prompting consequences for his police role.
The case results in a finding of gross misconduct, indicating disciplinary action tied to his conduct during the episode. Reported accounts focus on the circumstances surrounding his trip, his cannabis use, and the resulting belief that his ex-wife posed a threat. The reports do not present details in the provided material about the specific authorities involved, the timeline of events after he became convinced, or the exact disciplinary outcome beyond the guilty finding. The reports, however, are consistent in linking the misconduct charge to the Netherlands incident triggered by the described hallucination.
