A Hokitika man arrested in Hokitika overnight for allegedly threatening to kill and threatening to injure with intent to frighten a family member appeared in Westport District Court today.
Reece William Janetins Skipper, 37, also appeared on two charges of dealing cannabis.
Police opposed Skipper's bail, although no application was made for bail.
He was remanded in custody without plea, to appear in Christchurch District Court on August 31.
Greymouth senior sergeant David Cross said before Skipper's court appearance that Skipper might have had access to a shotgun and a machete at the time of the alleged offending.
