A drunk teenager who was found asleep on a traffic island in the middle of a busy Rockhampton roadway had to be sedated at hospital after he punched a police officer and continuously verbally abused paramedics and hospital staff.
Caleb Gene Bauer-Blucher, 18, pleaded guilty in Rockhampton Magistrates Court on September 6 to one count each of assaulting a police officer and conduct causing a public disturbance.
Police prosecutor Senior Constable Caitlin Booker said police found Bauer-Blucher asleep on a traffic island at the intersection of Fitzroy and Denison streets on August 13 at 11.13pm, and when they tried to wake him to move him from the roadway he responded, “Don’t f–king wake me”.
Senior Constable Booker said Bauer-Blucher, who was slurring his speech and smelt of liquor, punched a constable in the leg when he sat up and said, “f–k you c–t”.
Bauer-Blucher was arrested and transported to Rockhampton Hospital, where he verbally abused Queensland Ambulance Service paramedics.
He was moved away from other patients by hospital staff due to his disorderly and abusive behaviour.
Senior Constable Booker said Bauer-Blucher continued to berate and verbally abuse paramedics and hospital staff, saying “Who the f–k is talking to you? You dumb f–king s–k. I am asking you a f–king question woman.”
She said Bauer-Blucher was sedated.
Defence lawyer Brendan Gimbert said his client had seen old school friends, began drinking and couldn’t remember much of that night.
Mr Gimbert said his client worked at a local coffee shop, had no criminal history and was engaging with Alcohol and Other Drugs Service.
“His behaviour is appalling and he has recognised that,” he said.
Bauer-Blucher was fined $300 and ordered to perform 65 hours of unpaid community service work within the next year.
No criminal convictions were recorded.
