A white supremacist jailed for sharing footage of the Christchurch terror attack has been arrested in Picton, hours after allegedly declaring he was off to a "public execution".

Christchurch man Philip Neville Arps, 47, was travelling up the country when he was arrested in Picton on Friday afternoon and charged with threatening to kill and using offensive language.

A charge sheet said Arps was at a BP petrol station in Linwood, Christchurch earlier that day, saying there was going to be a "public execution". "I've been promising it, I'll see you in seven to 10 years," he was quoted as saying on the charge sheet.

He was also accused of threatening to kill members of the public and police.

Arps, who used to own a white supremacy-themed insulation company, was jailed for 21 months in 2019 after he sent a video of the Christchurch terror attack to 30 people, and asked a friend to modify it by adding cross-hairs and a "kill count".

White supremacist Philip Arps was draped in a New Zealand flag, unvaccinated and refusing a mask when he appeared at the Christchurch District Court to defend accusations that followed his prison release.

He also refused to undergo a rapid antigen test and when a probation officer expressed concerns as the judge-alone trial began, she was allowed to give her evidence from behind a screen.

The trial before Judge Kevin Phillips was expected to take all day to hear evidence on four charges.

Corrections alleges he failed to charge the GPS tracker he was required to wear as part of his electronic monitoring.

Three police charges allege misuse of a telephone by sending abusive text messages or expressing abuse during conversations with three probation officers.

Prosecutor Will Taffs said Arps had allowed his tracker to go flat on a day in January 2021, which left him unmonitored for two hours 21 minutes.

The prosecution is calling evidence from nine witnesses.

Anselm Williams and Kris Bucher appear as defence counsel for Arps.

The trial was adjourned at the end of the day, part-way through the prosecution case, and will continue on June 16 and 17.
