Settle drew attention to himself by urinating in Dean Street, Albury, about 3am on November 9 in full view of passers-by and abusing them as they walked past.

Security staff informed police, who attended almost immediately and Settle became aggressive and threatening.

Settle, 26, of Captain Cook Drive, appeared in Albury Local Court yesterday and pleaded guilty to charges of offensive behaviour, resisting arrest, refusing a direction to move on and malicious damage.

Solicitor Andrea Macdonald said Settle was on a two-year bond for assaulting police when the latest offences happened.

Magistrate Tony Murray said the charges were serious, ordered a pre-sentence report and adjourned sentencing until January 20.

Mr Murray was told in tendered facts about Settle’s issues with police and security.

Settle was sitting on a bench with several security staff around him when police attended after his latest outburst.

Officers had a conversation with the security personnel about Settle’s behaviour.

He began yelling and threatened to “smash” a security officer.

Settle was told several times to leave, but refused and police took hold of him to usher him away.

“Push me once more and I’ll hit ya, I’ll hit ya,” he said when putting his hands up and taking an aggressive stance.

When he continued to swear and abuse police, police arrested him.

He struggled with police as they escorted him to the police station and had to be handcuffed.

At the station he continued his abuse and when put in a holding cell began to rip apart a mattress tearing it down the middle.

He could not be interviewed due to his intoxication.
