Bundaberg police were made aware of the incident and have charged two local men.
A 22-year-old Bundaberg North man was charged with alleged assault occasioning bodily harm and wilful damage.
Bundaberg police have revealed 157 infringements were issued to drivers across the region over the Easter long weekend. Officer in charge of the Bundaberg Road Policing Unit Sergeant Marty Arnold said multiple disappointing incidents occurred on the region s roads this weekend, but overall the majority of drivers were well behaved. Two drivers (were) issued infringements for travelling 40km/h over the speed limit on a wet road (and there were) nine drink drivers - two of which were over five times the legal limit, he said. Across the Wide Bay Burnett 157 infringements were issued and 2845 random breath tests conducted. But with more than 150 infringements issued over the weekend, it s clear the important message continues to go unheard for some.
Knocking a drink out of someone s hand at a Hervey Bay hotel had unexpected consequences for one woman. Kamie Jessie Kruger appeared before Hervey Bay Magistrates Court last week and pleaded guilty to one count of assault. The court heard she was at the Bayswater Hotel in Urangan when she approached another woman at the bar. Kruger said hello c t and knocked the drink from the other woman s hand. The court heard the other woman s partner then grabbed Kruger and threw her to the ground. The court heard Kruger could not recall the incident and the whole night was a bit fuzzy .
