Jake Leslie Haynes, 18, appeared in Goulburn Local Court on Wednesday (June 15) and did not contest the charges of possessing an unauthorised pistol, counterfeit money and a prohibited drug.
On May 28, police were called to Victoria Park after reports a man had been seen carrying a handgun.
Court documents showed upon arresting Haynes, police seized a black and silver gel blaster pistol (for which he did not have a permit or license), counterfeit Australian currency and a small amount of cannabis.
He was initially refused bail and appeared before Wollongong Local Court on May 29 where bail was granted.
In court, Haynes' lawyer Richard Brandon-Baker confirmed his client's pleas and requested a sentence assessment report.
Magistrate Geraldine Beattie confirmed his request and adjourned the case to July 27 for sentencing.
