"Invalid format is malformed at" exception while using Joda time

Joda time throws exception as:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid format: "23-Apr-2020 10:35:06 AM UTC" is malformed at "-Apr-2020 10:35:06 AM UTC" at org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.parseDateTime(DateTimeFormatter.java:873) at org.joda.time.DateTime.parse(DateTime.java:144) at org.joda.time.DateTime.parse(DateTime.java:133)

The line of code causing this exception is:

public static DateTimeFormatter LicenseFormat = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("dd-MMM-yyyy hh:mm:ss a z").withZone(DateTimeZone.UTC).withLocale(Locale.ENGLISH);
DateTime webDate = DateTime.parse(DateTime.now().toString(LicenseFormat));

I am not able to trace down the issue, the date "23-Apr-2020 10:35:06 AM UTC" is in correct format of "dd-MMM-yyyy hh:mm:ss a z" then why it's throwing exception.

Oh very minor issue, I should pass second argument to method parse() of type DateTimeFormatter.

As:

DateTime webDate = DateTime.parse(DateTime.now().toString(LicenseFormat), LicenseFormat);
