A 57-year-old Alexandra man will appear in court this week after ignoring police orders to turn his music down at the weekend.

Senior Constable Graham Perkins said police were informed of a noise complaint by Cougar Security due to previous interactions with the occupant.

While initially compliant with orders when spoken to, the man became obnoxious and belligerent and would not listen to the consequences of ignoring the noise abatement notice.

Snr Const Perkins said he was arrested for obscene language and resisting police, after continuing to deny he had done anything wrong.
