Man fires shark deterrent during fight at Cape Jervis hotel A MAN has been barred from the Cape Jervis pub and may face charges after allegedly firing a shark deterring device during an altercation overnight. Two men were involved in a fight at the hotel about 9.30pm yesterday. One of the men, 57 and from Cape Jervis, left the hotel and returned 10 minutes later with a homemade shark deterrent, or powerhead. Following another struggle, it is believed the powerhead was dropped and discharged into the ceiling, police said. The devices are commonly used underwater by divers and are similar to a gun. Both men left the pub before police arrived. Inquiries led to the man being found asleep at home and police will question him further today. The device was seized and the man issued with a barring order from the hotel.
