After the alleged threats were made, police raided Rudd’s home on November 6 where they found 130g (4.6 ounces) of marijuana and 0.7g of methamphetamine.

BBC News reports that Rudd had previously denied all charges.

However, Rudd has since revised his plea ahead of the start of his trial at Tauranga district court, New Zealand.
