A Sunshine Coast apprentice plumber has been punished for his drunken behaviour on Ocean St where he tried to fight security guards while calling them names.

A Palmwoods apprentice plumber who tried to fight security at a popular club on Ocean St while calling them names has been punished in court for his drunken outburst.

James Thomas Thompson, 18, was given a good behaviour bond of $400 for a period of four months in Maroochydore Magistrates Court after he pleaded guilty to committing public nuisance in the vicinity of a licensed premises.

Prosecutor James Allen said police were patrolling Ocean St in Maroochydore on May 23, 2022, at 11.45pm when they saw Thompson in an altercation with security staff at Sol Bar.

Police spoke to Thompson and he was unsteady on his feet, slurring his words and there was a strong smell of alcohol on his breath.

While speaking to the officers, Thompson yelled out to the security guards “you’re a hero c--t” and “oi you fat f--k”.

The 18-year-old was warned his behaviour was unacceptable and he responded with “I don’t give a f--k, I don’t care”.

Thompson continued to call out to security, inviting them to fight.

“Come here you fat f--k,” he said while making gestures with his hands and calling the security guard over to him.

He was again warned about his behaviour but said he didn’t care.

Thompson was asked for his ID and when going through his wallet he said to police “f--k this, you can have that bruh” and started walking towards the security member he had been yelling at.

Police grabbed hold of Thompson and he pulled away before being arrested and taken to the watch house.

Sergeant Allen said if Thompson had been issued with an infringement notice on the night it would have cost him approximately $800.

Duty lawyer Katie Patterson said Thompson was born in Nambour and now lived at Palmwoods.

Ms Patterson said he completed Grade 12 at Chancellor State College and was in his third year of his plumbing apprenticeship.

Magistrate Barry Barrett did not record a conviction against Thompson.
