Man, 76, Arrested in New Zealand for Assault Plan; Planned to Throw Horse Manure on Prince Charles

Police arrested a man in Auckland, New Zealand yesterday, before he had a chance to throw a bucket of horse manure onto Prince Charles and his wife Camilla during a royal visit to the Pacific nation, the News Max World website reports today (November 13, 2012).

Castislav "Sam" Bacanov, 76, pleaded not guilty in an Auckland court today to planning a crime in a public place. He has agreed -- under his bail conditions -- to keep at least 500 meters from the royal couple.

The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall are on a six-day tour of New Zealand -- the last leg of their Pacific tour marking Queen Elizabeth II's 60th Jubilee.

Police spokeswoman Noreen Hegarty said officers arrested Bacanov -- a known anti-royalist -- yesterday near a downtown Auckland venue where Charles and Camilla were due to appear. Bacanov is due to appear in court again on November 27.
