Death of Ms Dhu
In November 2009, when she was 17, police found Dhu sleeping near Cable Beach; when they woke her up, she seemed to be intoxicated, used bad language at them, and said "I don't remember anything after taking that eccy".  The police arrested her for her behaviour and for not telling the police her name and address, keeping her in jail for one night.  They let her go the next morning on bail, but she did not come to Court when the police case against her was held, and the court said she had to pay the police $200 as punishment.  The next year, Dhu got in some small troubles with the police after she moved back to Port Hedland.  Once, she kicked a female police officer while being put under police control for Dhu's behaviour.  The court again said she had to pay the police money as punishment.
