A swastika-tattooed thug threatened to shoot an innocent man during an eight-month spree involving dozens of driving, drug and assault crimes.
The Frankston hoodlum was repeatedly caught driving without a licence while trafficking in ice, GHB and cannabis, and was nabbed armed with guns after being involved in a police pursuit.

The wannabe gangster also threatened to kill an African man with a gun hidden Hollywood-style in his belt.
Frederick Cox, 45, pleaded guilty to 50 charges at Frankston Magistrates’ Court today.
In a long list of offending detailed in 14 separate police briefs, he was caught committing crimes in Cranbourne, Frankston, Dandenong, Seaford, Frankston North, Botanic Ridge and Devon Meadows.
The worst was at 2.10am on October 21 last year when Cox and a mate went into a 7-Eleven in Frankston to get doughnuts.
As he walked outside, he came across a South Sudanese man in the car park.
He shouted “this is my country, get in your car and f*** off”, lifted his shirt to show he had a silver handgun tucked in his belt and then screamed he would “blow his head off”.
The incident was caught on CCTV and the swastika tattoo on his chest later incriminated Cox.
His downfall came just before midnight on April 24 this year when police saw him riding a motorbike on Seaford Rd in Seaford.
When they tried to intercept him he sped off, racing along the wrong side of the road and narrowly avoiding a head-on collision.
He was later caught at a mate’s house wearing chain mail body armour, and was armed with an imitation firearm and a starter’s pistol.
Between September last year and April this year he was caught at least six times driving unlicensed, many times with ice, GHB and cannabis in his car.

In court his defence lawyer said Cox had relapsed into drugs because of the grief of recently losing his mother.
He said the former NBN worker had been severely scalded in a prison attack while on remand, where has been for the last 264 days.
Magistrate Dominic Lennon said the offending was very, serious and he would be sending a message that Cox must start leading a law-abiding life.
He will be sentenced on February 26.
