'Coffee rage' land Nelson man in jail
The Nelson Mail | Wednesday, 18 April 2007

A case of "coffee rage" is among a string of incidents that have landed an unemployed Nelson man in prison.

Ryan Alen Hobbs, 31, appeared in Nelson District Court for sentencing on Monday, having previously admitted charges including disorderly behaviour, driving while disqualified, assault, possessing a knife and cannabis and breaching bail.

His lawyer, Mark Dollimore, told the court the disorderly behaviour charge was laid after Hobbs suffered a case of "coffee rage" at Nelson's Yaza Cafe. Hobbs considered himself a coffee connoisseur, and was adamant he was being served coffee with curdled milk.

Hobbs spat outside the cafe, but said this was to get the taste of the curdled milk out of his mouth, Mr Dollimore said.

Judge Peter McAloon said as well as the new charges Hobbs was facing, he was also to be re- sentenced on previous crimes for which he had not completed his community work.

The judge sentenced Hobbs to a total of six months in prison, and denied him leave to apply for home detention.

He won't get good coffee in there, that's for sure! I wonder if he actually told the cafe staff it was curdled or just came to that conclusion by himself, hence the spitting?

If all he did was spit it out, outside, because it was curdled, thats hardly coffee rage.

If someone served me coffee with off milk or summat, I'd probably spit it in their face.

Boy, I'm a nice chap!

And yet two kids who steal a Mercedes, run from police and kill two people in the process get three months. For something far less serious he gets more... whats next? Getting six months for scaring scooters? Fucking hell.. :p
