A BOROREN business owner has been fined after an incident at a local service station.
Richard Owen Blackmore, 77, pleaded guilty in Gladstone Magistrates Court on Tuesday to one count of common assault.
Police prosecutor Senior Constable Carl Spargo told the court Blackmore attended the Caltex Service Station at Bororen, about 3pm on November 8.
Blackmore requested a bag of ice from the female complainant, who worked at the service station.
He pulled out a sum of money for the ice, however, when the complainant reached for it Blackmore pulled it back.
The complainant then snatched the money from Blackmore, who stated to her âyouâre naughty, I could bend you over my knee and smack you. And Iâd give you a good tickle at the same time. Youâd really like my ticklesâ.
