The man who allegedly caused a bomb scare at the Wellington police station earlier this year appeared in court this morning charged with using threatening words.
Police say the 44-year-old, who has interim name suppression, used the words "It's got explosives in it, I'm angry with you guys and it's an IED", on March 14.
The alleged offending sparked an evacuation of the central city block, where a bomb disposal robot was used to carry out a series of controlled explosions on a suspicious package left at the station.
The man's charging document states he used the threatening words being reckless as to whether any person was alarmed or insulted by the words.
The charge carries a maximum fine of $1000.
