ST Paul's Hostel resident Darren Miles, who was working as a chef when he brandished a knife during an argument in the kitchen, is now facing a lengthy jail sentence.  

Darren Miles, of no fixed abode, became homeless after he lost his place at this hostel due to this offending. 

The court heard the 41-year-old brandished the knife saying "they don't know who they are messing with" and "they don't know what I'm capable of".

Magistrates decided their sentencing powers were insufficient to be able to deal with Miles' case, so adjourned his case.
