A man who filmed himself coughing and sneezing on shoppers is in custody after allegedly breaching his bail.
Raymond Gary Coombs, 38, pleaded guilty in the Christchurch District Court on April 6 to a charge of offensive behaviour.
He uploaded a video to Facebook on March 31, showing him intentionally coughing on customers at Fresh Choice Barrington. He said he had been infected with Covid-19.
Coombs, who was described as "an idiot" by the Prime Minister, was initially charged with endangering life by criminal nuisance and obstruction of a medical officer of health after his "drunken prank" during the country's coronavirus lockdown.
