Subscriber only A Monkland man who threatened to smash a wooden bat over his neighbour s head during a dispute about a motorbike has been hit with a $2000 fine. Gympie magistrates Court heard Tristan Shane William Webb was frustrated by his neighbour revving his motorbike and doing burnouts outside his home, so Webb and his brother confronted the neighbours at their home on the evening of March 8, 2020. Webb s brother went armed with a tent pole, the court heard. Webb pleaded guilty to three charges in Gympie Magistrates Court this week. In response to this potential threat, one of the victims armed themselves with a metal bar, so 30-year-old Webb grabbed his own weapon.
