Tyran Henry Hautai Wilson faces Bundaberg Magistrates Court

A serial pub pest, who told security at one hotel he was ex-military and would shoot them as they kicked him out of the venue, has faced court.

A night out for a young Ipswich man turned into a stand-off with security after he was kicked out of a Bundaberg pub and threatened to shoot staff.

Tyran Henry Hautai Wilson, 25, pleaded guilty to one count each of public nuisance and obstructing a police officer in the Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Friday.

Police Prosecutor, Sergeant Tina Blan, told the court Wilson was at The Club Hotel at 2am on April 17 when he was kicked out of the venue by security.

He tried to get back into the hotel, but when he was turned away, he became aggressive and abusive towards staff and security.

While outside, Wilson hurled abuse at crowd controllers and challenged them to fight him.

He continued with his tirade, telling security he was ex-military, would “come back and shoot them” and “make a call to his brothers”.

Wilson continued to cause havoc outside the hotel, banging on doors and windows.

When police got to the at 2:36am, Wilson refused to identify himself and give his personal details.

Tyran Henry Hautai Wilson, 25, pleaded guilty to one count each of public nuisance and obstructing a police officer in the Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Friday.

He was given another chance to state his name and address, but instead answered every question with a question.

Wilson had to be physically restrained after he continued to obstruct and struggle with police while they waited for a pod vehicle to take him to the watch-house.

Sergeant Bland said Wilson had clearly had too much to drink and his behaviour continued all the way up to the watch-house.

“If Mr Wilson at that stage just continued walking, perhaps we wouldn’t be where we are today,” she said.

Sergeant Bland told the court Wilson had no criminal history, but had recently received tickets for similar offences last year, one worth $827 for public nuisance disorderly in a licensed premises in October 2021 and $400 for a similar incident in March 2021.

Legal Aid lawyer Thomas Bray told the court Wilson lived and worked full time in Ipswich and had flown to Bundaberg in April for work when the offences occurred.

Mr Bray said Wilson had also flown to Bundaberg specifically to appear before the court.

Magistrate Edwin Rowan told Wilson that while his early plea of guilty showed remorse, his offending caused serious safety concerns for staff and patrons.

“What is significant, is these offences occurred in a Safe Night Out Precinct, where members of the public are entitled to feel safe,” she said.

“Your behaviour was concerning both for security and staff, but would have created a nuisance for other members of the public who were simply enjoying a night out.”

Wilson was fined $800 for both offences, referred to SPER.

A conviction was recorded.
