Gadeikis, of Heath Crescent, Hellesdon, who had the help of a Lithuanian interpreter in court, admitted possessing a BB gun in a public place on May 16.
John Morgans, for Gadeikis, said that he was a hard working young man and said: It was a non-working BB gun, the sort of thing you can buy in a shop in Great Yarmouth.
He said that he was a man of previous good character: He has been frightened by his experience of coming to the crown court. He is genuinely sorry. It is not something he intended to do.
Judge Stephen Holt said although Gadeikis had not pointed the gun at anyone he had produced it in public and said: It certainly had the effect of stopping the fight.
