A Whanganui man who threatened to shoot his victim with a can of alcohol may face a prison sentence.
Norman John Lister was convicted in the Whanganui District Court yesterday of threatening to kill and presenting an object that resembled a firearm.
The court heard that Lister was drinking with firends on New Year's Eve when people he did not know joined the party.
They drove him into town to buy more alcohol but left him behind leaving him to walk back to the party.
He was angry at having been left behind, his counsel Anna Brosnahan said.
