A Nanango teenager pleaded guilty to public nuisance and making death threats on Snapchat after organising a fight at a skate park, a court has heard.

Blade Colin Frost, 18, pleaded guilty at Kingaroy Magistrates Court on Monday to two charges of public nuisance and one charge of using a carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence.

Police prosecutor Barry Stevens said Frost went to the Nanango skate park where he “attacked” and “encouraged” someone into a fight.

“The witness stated the defendant came from nowhere … and attacked the group,” Sgt Stevens said.

The court heard enquiries by police found one of the witnesses and Frost had organised the fight.

The day after the fight, a person went to the Nanango police station to report Frost had approached him outside of Shortiez Country Fried Chicken shop on Henry St and “verbally abused him” that afternoon.

“The witness stated the defendant approached him and asked him ‘why are you kissing boys’,” Sgt Stevens said.

He said Frost continued to “shout things at him” before the witness approached Frost “to ask him what was going on”.

“The defendant reacted by getting into his face and saying ‘let’s take this behind the alleyway’,” Sgt Stevens said.

The court heard the witness walked off but was followed by Frost and another person who called him a “pussy” and said “come fight me b--ch and I’ll bash you all up”.

The witness also told police Frost had sent him a video on Snapchat threatening to “assault and kill him”.

“He can be seen saying ‘this isn’t over, I’m going to stomp you out, I’m going to kill you when I see you’,” Sgt Stevens said.

“The defendant can further be heard saying ‘I’ll come back with twice as many people … we’ll f—king kill you’ and it goes on for some time.”

When police spoke to Frost, he told them the “kissing boys” reference was a joke but admitted to public nuisance.

Frost’s lawyer, Jay Rose, told the court Frost and one of the witnesses had organised the fight but he was unaware others were going to be there.

She said Frost suffered external bruising, punches to his head and mouth and was punched and kicked while on the ground.

The court heard others from the group also sustained some minor injuries.

Magistrate Andrew Sinclair lectured Frost about the use of violence.

“Young men sometimes think that it’s OK to settle things with their fists, it’s not … even if you’ve been wronged, you could end up in prison,” Mr Sinclair said.

“The appropriate way to resolve that is through the police and the civil law, not through personal action.

“The use of Snapchat to make serious and persistent threats to kill … whilst you may have been angry, it is never an appropriate response to escalate things and threaten to kill people,” he said.

Frost was released on a good behaviour bond for 12 months and was fined $350.

If he completes the 12 months of good behaviour no conviction will be recorded.
