Bradley Stephen Maskey had earlier yelled at the magistrate and spoken over the top of his Legal Aid solicitor.

Magistrate Eckhold told Maskey to be quiet and threatened to mute the Wellington Correctional Centre audiovisual link if he did not stop interrupting.

As the 22-year-old became more and more agitated the magistrate said he was not helping himself.

"How do you expect me to get the help I need if you keep putting me in full-time custody?'' Maskey yelled.

"Hurry up and give me what you are going to give me.''

Maskey was in court on six charges of having custody of a knife in a public place and one charge of maliciously damaging property.

The court heard Maskey was not suitable for an intensive corrections order (a court option allowing offenders to serve sentences in the community instead of jail).

Legal Aid said Maskey had spent time behind bars in the past.

"But he has never received any drug treatment,'' a solicitor said.

"He realises drugs are one of the major causes of (his) offending. He definitely needs help.''

Magistrate Eckhold said Maskey had been on parole and just finished good behaviour bonds.

"You were found in the Dubbo RSL Club with steak knives in your shorts twice on the same evening,'' the magistrate said.

"While on conditional liberty for that offence you breached bail by offending with a Swiss army knife at the Garden Hotel.

"You ended up outside a woman's home and threw a sandstone paver into the windscreen of a car.

"You were found walking on an oval with a hammer and a number of knives.''

Maskey was sentenced to 12 months jail with a non-parole period of six months and an additional six-month fixed jail term.

"Your background is tragic,'' Magistrate Eckhold said.

"I find special circumstances due to the need for drug and alcohol rehabilitation.''

Final apprehended violence orders were imposed to protect a woman.

According to the order Maskey cannot go within 100 metres of her home.
