An unemployed drunk driver who reversed his girlfriend's car through a Gold Coast pub while four times over the limit has been jailed for 18 months.
Nathan Simpson, 28, faced Southport District Court on Wednesday over a string of driving offences relating to the crash at the Robina Pavilion on August 5 last year.
The court heard Simpson had been drinking at the venue, on Ron Penhaligon Way, when he was asked to leave for being too drunk, the Gold Coast Bulletin reports.
Simpson got into a verbal argument with one of the staff members before exiting the premises and getting behind the wheel, with his girlfriend in the passenger seat.
