A young dad previously convicted of drug trafficking has learned a harsh lesson about alcohol after being jailed for assaults on a Central Queensland pub manager and patron.
Steven Ben Hoek, 25, pleaded guilty on May 19 in the Supreme Court in Rockhampton to two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm and one of common assault.
The assault offences breached a Supreme Court sentence handed down to Hoek in 2016 for trafficking drugs.
Hoek, and others, entered The Irish Village bar in Emerald about 10.40pm on July 5, 2020.
Manager Kim Matthews advised the group they were welcome, but the venue would be shutting soon.
