A judge has told a notorious Hawke's Bay Mongrel Mob member he should continue to distance himself from a gang lifestyle that "does not lead to good outcomes".
Poutawa (Puk) Whiti Kireka, 32, was sentenced in the Hastings District Court on Wednesday on a charge of assault in a family relationship, Stuff reported.
Kireka, who broke his partner's nose in the argument outside Flaxmere College in October, pleaded guilty in December.
The mobster created worldwide headlines when he claimed in an interview with Hawke's Bay Today last year that he was trying to live a better life, but his distinctive red-and-black facial tattoo was holding him back from getting a job.
US Rapper 50 Cent subsequently mocked him.
