The man slammed the door to the business in anger.

A man who struggles with anger management issues and alcoholism slammed a job agency’s front door so hard it had to be replaced, a court heard.

Michael Sean Ashman, 34, pleaded guilty in Gladstone Magistrates Court on Friday to wilful damage.

A court heard that on March 18, around 12.20pm, Ashman attended his appointment at Max Employment and was unhappy with the outcome.

He became aggressive and belligerent towards staff and chose to head for the exit of the complex.

As Ashman exited, he opened and slammed the front glass sliding door of the business so hard it bent the top of the door and also damaged the bottom sliding mechanism. The door was unable to be repaired.

At 12.45pm the same day, police took up with staff members who said they wanted to make a criminal complaint as it was not the first time Ashman had damaged a door at the business.

On March 18, around 1pm, police spoke with Ashman who admitted to slamming the door and causing the damage.

He told police he slammed the door harder than required but did not mean to damage the door.

Ashman said he was going through a tough time and was in a bad state of mind as a result of his appointment with Max Employment.

He was issued a notice to appear in Gladstone Magistrates Court.

Police prosecutor Senior Sergeant Merrilyn Hoskins said Ashman had been sentenced to periods of imprisonment twice in the last six years.

“He is unemployed with a significant amount of criminal convictions since turning 18, many of which are violent offences and indicate ungoverned behaviour.

“He does have poor coping skills problems with drugs and alcohol, this is reflected in his charges.”

Ashman’s solicitor Rio Ramos said her client’s offending was on the lower end of the scale in nature.

“The damage my client caused to the door is not quantifiable, there is no application for restitution by the victim business,” she said.

“My client accepts that he was frustrated at the time of his offending, to his credit he is still engaged with Max Employment who have welcomed him back.”

Magistrate Bevan Manthey convicted and sentenced Ashman to six months imprisonment, wholly suspended for 18 months. A conviction was recorded.

“I hope I don’t see you here again, but at the end of the day that is your call,” Magistrate Manthey said.
