A misconduct panel hears allegations involving a British police officer who travelled to the Netherlands in connection with using cannabis and later believed he was in danger. The officer, identified in reporting as PC Jack Waeghemacker, is said to have driven to Holland to smoke a joint in order to relax. According to the allegations presented at the panel, he experienced unusual and disturbing perceptions after taking only a small number of puffs—described in one account as three puffs. During this period, the officer allegedly became convinced that his ex-wife was “out to kill him,” prompting what the reporting describes as a major operation. The sources relate the sequence of events as part of a police misconduct process, focusing on the circumstances and perceptions that followed cannabis use while abroad. The accounts do not provide details in the provided excerpts about the specific operational response, the outcomes of the investigation, or any formal findings, but they consistently describe the officer’s travel, cannabis use, the emergence of delusional beliefs, and the resulting large-scale police activity.
