Subscriber only A MINING operator punched a security guard in the face after his girlfriend was asked to leave a Central Queensland pub. Jason Warren Nalder, 26, pleaded guilty at Clermont Magistrates Court on December 9, to one count of common assault, after the charge was downgraded from assaults occasioning bodily harm. Duty lawyer Carly Guilfoyle said Nalder was out on the town on February 28, 2020, drinking with a large group of friends and family at Moranbah s Black Nugget Hotel. Police prosecutor Sergeant Kevin Ongheen said the incident occurred just after 10pm when security asked Nalder s girlfriend, now wife, to leave the premises.
