Jeremy Clarkson's pub venture has seen a few mishaps ahead of its official opening, and on Friday it seems there was a police presence at the Oxfordshire site.
Former Top Gear star Clarkson, 64, purchased a pub in the Cotswolds which is almost ready to open its doors. The presenter has been sharing updates about his pub journey, which is set to feature in the next series of Prime hit Clarkson's Farm.
He's been candid with fans along the way, sharing regular parts of the business venture after focusing efforts on preparing the pub for its opening. It was reported the 64-year-old paid "less than a million" for a country pub called The Windmill in Burford, Oxfordshire.
The Grand Tour star amused fans by explaining how the pub sat on a former dogging site and later went on to share some evidence of its past, and later it was revealed another location flaw had impacted the pub's revamp.
Last week, cameras had to stop rolling for the filming of the fourth series of Clarkson's Farm due to a giant military aircraft.
The Daily Mail reports some of the world's biggest military transporters fly directly over The Windmill pub on training exercises from Brize Norton, Britain's biggest RAF base. The base is just 1.5 miles away from the site - where Clarkson was spotted filming this week.
Police were at the site of Jeremy Clarkson's new pub in Oxfordshire over an error by Charlie Ireland
On Friday, another chaotic update saw police at the site. Clarkson's lager and cider company Hawkstone posted a clip on its Instagram account, with Clarkson's Farm star Charlie Ireland explaining how his blunder led to involvement from the law.
Ireland, or "Cheerful Charlie" as Clarkson sarcastically calls him, is a land agent who advises the presenter on farm management.
Ireland is seen after chatting with police officers, who are laughing, as the person filming states: "Because you've marked out all of the wrong lines in the application, the police have had to come."
He continued: "That's the sort of trouble you've caused." A caption for the clip reads: "There's a lot still to do to get the pub ready for you the weekend after next - including naming it - Jeremy has an idea for a pub name - guess what it is - and name every one of the Hawkstone products on the bar - and someone wins a case of 24!"
Many got in touch in the comments with ideas for names of the pub, while others expressed surprise about Ireland's error.
"How can Charlie get it wrong? He’s Mr Perfect," one person asked.
Another penned: "Naughty Charlie!!" while someone else quipped: "Has cheerful had too many hawkstones when he filled out the application?"
"Oh Charlie!!!" someone else commented. Another remarked: "Charlie at this point is like drop me tf out I’m done."
"Charlie is forgiven," another joked. (sic)

On Thursday, Clarkson issued a huge update on the pub's progress. He didn't disappoint fans as he took to social media to share an annual post he pens every year on A-Level results day.
In the tweet, he also confirmed when his pub would be opening its doors to the public. Keeping to his 10-year tradition but adding an updated spin, he wrote: "Don't worry if your A-level results aren't what you were hoping for.
"I got a C and two Us, and here I am, 46 years later, with my own pub. It opens next weekend if you fancy dropping in."
For the past decade, Clarkson has posted like clockwork during the big day for many teenagers to remind them he's found success in spite of his less-than-perfect academic results.
While fans will be pleased to hear the pub is opening very soon, Clarkson has been facing issues with its location throughout the revamp, with the presenter realising new issues as recently as last week.
