On the same day police found pepper spray, a total of $300 in counterfeit notes, 28 grams of cannabis, one gram of meth and other drug paraphernalia.

Magistrate Steven Malley said during the hearing that Mr Worrell had a choice.

“You have a choice whether you want to sleep in your own bed, go to the beach or go to the footy,” he said.

Mr Worrell said being in custody gave him time to think about his actions.

“This is not the life I want for me,” he said.

Mr Worrell is currently in prison serving an 18 month sentence.

His most recent sentence will be served concurrently and he will be eligible for parole in nine months.
