A Queenstown man who was arrested at an unruly party on Saturday received a pre-charge warning.

Queenstown Police Senior Sergeant Paula Enoka told media yesterday morning the man (23) was due to appear in the district court charged with disorderly behaviour likely to cause violence.

But a spokesperson for the police media team in Wellington checked with the arresting officer and said there had been a ``mix up'' due to a provisional date written on the arrest form.

The man was actually given a pre-charge warning and released on Sunday morning.

About 350 people attended the house party of Lordens Place, Fernhill, on Saturday night, after it was advertised on social media.

Police shut it down due to noise complaints.
