Orewa man Sean Clifford Nicholas has been charged with making a false statement.
Court documents state police allege his false statement to a woman gave rise to serious apprehension for his own safety - and was reckless as to whether it would cause a wasteful police deployment.
The charge carries a maximum three months in prison, or a two-thousand dollar fine.
Nicholas is also charged with breaching prison release conditions.
