Daniel Heywood, 26, of Banks Street, North Shore, pleaded guilty to being drunk and disorderly.

Pam Smith, prosecuting, said police saw Heywood acting aggressively in Dickson Road on February 24 at 4am. He was advised numerous times to go home and moderate his language. Heywood refused and fashioned a knuckleduster by putting a key between his fingers
