One of two South Otago men has admitted several charges from a home invasion at Kaka Point earlier this month.
Zane Tiatoa Currie, 19, was remanded in custody to March 14 after pleading guilty to a joint charge of unlawfully entering a house at the Esplanade, Kaka Point, on December 8.
Currie also admitted trying to avoid arrest by intentionally injuring Barry Hessan and assaulting Ronald Gabolinscy with intent to injure him, and stealing $165.96 of alcohol from Rosebank Super Liquor in Balclutha.
But he denied that he, along with Daniel Tipene Te Moananui, intentionally caused grievous bodily harm to Pamela Paterson at Kaka Point. He elected a jury trial on that charge.
Currie, who was before Judge Dominic Flatley in the Dunedin District Court, also admitted an unrelated charge of disorderly behaviour likely to cause violence at Balclutha on December 1.
On that charge, he was sentenced to one month's jail.
