The defendant was swearing and making threats to passers-by, he said. An informant walking her dog reported the male made some threats to kill her dog and was following her, causing fear. Mackie told the court some alcohol was involved in his offending. He said he suffered from schizophrenia. The Moffat Beach resident pleaded guilty in Caloundra Magistrates Court on Wednesday to one count of public nuisance, contravene a direction, obstructing police and wilful exposure. Sergeant Lydford said Mackie had a 10-page criminal history of similar offences and suggested a suspended sentence as an appropriate punishment. Your honour could consider something hanging over his head to deter him, he said.
