Turtle dismembered at SA schoolies

A man who allegedly dismembered a turtle is among more than 200 people to fall foul of police during schoolies celebrations in South Australia.

The 18-year-old from Renmark was reported on Sunday afternoon for offensive behaviour and cruelty to animals after the incident at Goolwa, south of Adelaide.

He faces being summonsed to appear in court at a later date.

The teenager was among 240 people to be arrested, reported or to receive a fine or other notice over the three days of activities, which wrapped up on Sunday.

That compared to 243 in 2014.

Inspector Gus Sickerdick said those attending were generally well behaved but it was disappointing that some still tried to sell illicit drugs with four people arrested for trafficking offences.

He said alcohol also remained a problem with 121 fines issued for drinking or possessing alcohol in a dry zone.
