Ngaruawahia's Tribal Huk gang leader Jamie Pink has conceded he's likely to be found guilty of a possession charge so changed his plea after a brief appearance in court today.
Pink was in the Hamilton District Court for what was meant to be the beginning of a three-day trial to defend a charge of possessing an offensive weapon; a studded baseball bat that was found in his car by police in November.
At his last appearance, Pink admitted two charges of unlawful possession of a firearm, but denied the third possession charge at trial saying it didn't belong to him.
However, through lawyer Roger Laybourn, he admitted the charge today.
The summary of facts says Pink was driving along Firth St, Hamilton, on November 5 when he was stopped by police after leaving a property where firearms were earlier seen.
