Andrew Charles Nunn fined for Cotton Tree Caravan Park public nuisance

A 54-year-old man has been told he should be ashamed of his teenage-like behaviour that resulted in a caravan park fight.

A 54-year-old man has been told he should be ashamed of his teenage-like behaviour that resulted in a caravan park brawl.

Andrew Charles Nunn was fined $600 after he pleaded guilty to committing a public nuisance and obstructing police in Cotton Tree Caravan Park on October 16.

Police prosecutor Stuart Lydford said Nunn had been socialising with other campers in their site when he became aggressive and refused to leave.

The court heard a fight with a number of campers broke out in front of other families and children.

Sergeant Lydford said Nunn continued to be aggressive towards police once they arrived.

He said he pulled away from police and resisted when officers tried to put him in the police car.

Eventually Nunn was handcuffed and taken to the watch house.

The court heard Nunn had criminal history of “anti-social, yobbo behaviour”.

Sergeant Lydford suggested a fine as an appropriate punishment.

Solicitor Jacob Pruden said his client had been offered a job doing building maintenance in Tasmania and asked for no conviction to be recorded.

Magistrate Matthew McLaughlin said the facts of the matter painted an “ugly picture”.

“It’s something that you should be so ashamed of, that you would carry on like that in a place like that,” he said.

He said it was “pest” behaviour that he would expect from a teenager.

“You really need to look at your lifestyle and start acting your age,” Mr McLaughlin said.

No conviction was recorded.
