A Wanganui man was warned to let go of a life-long feud or face jail time.
Julian John Giles, 31, pleaded guilty to wilful damage after admitting slashing all four tyres of a van belonging to another man. The incident happened on December 22 at Bignell St Caravan Park, after the two men argued.
Giles, representing himself at Wanganui District Court, said he had known the victim for a long time and they had a bad history.
He claimed the victim had once broken his arm, and also claimed the man had abused one of his family members.
"I've carried this anger for a long time," he said.
