The 24-year-old received a 60-hour community sentence after he made the corona threats this summer.
He threatened both the police and the ambulance staff by telling them that he had a crown and that he wanted to infect them.
The threats he made “can cause great fear,” the Aust-Agder district court ruling states.
The man was drunk and is said to have behaved in an aggressive and threatening manner.
The verdict says he remembers little of the night in question.
Most are not punished
When NRK checked just over a month ago, it had received hundreds of corona reviews since March.
Many of the cases concern quarantine violations.
Threatening behavior and abuse of crown support are examples from other reviews.
Most did not lead to punishment.
At the end of November, a family business in Lillestrøm was fined more than NOK 160,000.
A couple of weeks earlier, 31 people were reported after a post-holiday weekend in Bergen.

Spit in hand
The 24-year-old admits to having made the threats in Arendal and admits guilt.
He first threatened two ambulance workers.
They had moved to a message that a person was unconscious outside a nightclub in downtown Arendal.
When they arrived at the scene, the man was aggressive, according to the verdict. It is also said that he declared several times that he had a crown.
When ambulance personnel wanted to examine him further, he left the scene. The ambulance drivers followed him.
– At the same time the ambulance was chasing him, he continued to threaten to infect them with corona by spitting on their hand and greeting them, the verdict says.
Then the police were called and the 24-year-old arrived with new threats of corona infection.
The threats are serious, the court believes.
– In the current pandemic situation, it is undoubted that the defendant’s conduct was conducive to causing fear among the ambulance personnel, it is stated in the judgment of the Aust-Agder District Court.
The 24-year-old has been convicted both for making threats that could generate great fear and for trying to obstruct the work of the police.
