An 18-year-old bull rider has pleaded guilty to exposing himself to an innocent female server, while ordering a vanilla coke at a Maccas drive through.
Mack Earl Tipper, of North Maclean, was hauled before Beaudesert Magistrates Court where he pleaded guilty to an indecent act intended to insult or offend on Tuesday.
Magistrate Kerrie O’Callaghan placed Tipper, who is originally from Toowoomba, on a six-month good behaviour bond for exposing himself.
The court heard at Flagstone McDonalds on September 19 around 1.13am Tipper drove up to the drive through speaker box.
Police prosecutor Senior Constable Rachel France told the court the order speaker box had a built-in video camera.
The victim, a 19-year-old female staff member of McDonald’s Flagstone, asked Tipper for his order.
The court heard Tipper was wearing a face mask and no shirt at the drive through.
Tipper pulled down his face mask and ordered a large vanilla coke.
Senior Constable France told the court Tipper then drove up to the first window.
To the employee’s shock, she soon realised Tipper was fully naked in the driver’s seat. She then turned away.
Tipper paid for his large vanilla coke with a $5 note.
The court heard as the female server turned to take Tipper’s cash, she noticed his erect penis; causing her to turn away yet again.
When she turned back to give Tipper his change she saw he had moved his hand to touch his erect penis.
“He was waving it back and forth in an up and down motion,” Senior Constable France told the court.
He used that same hand to take his change from the female server, before driving to the next window, collecting his large vanilla coke, and driving away.
The female server called police and told her manager about the flashing customer.
Police then collected a statement from her and watched the drive through CCTV confirming what she alleged had happened.
“She said to police that she felt uncomfortable and was in a state of shock during the experience,” Senior Constable France told the court.
Tipper originally denied being naked while at the drive through to police. He said he was just scratching his groin because he had chafing.
The court heard Tipper had no prior history. He also wrote a letter of apology to Flagstone McDonald’s.
Ms O’Callaghan told the court it was clearly bad behaviour from Tipper.
“You say you didn’t realise anyone could see,” she said.
“But it did cause some offence.”
The court heard Tipper was paying back his father, who had covered his legal fees for the matter.
Ms O’Callaghan placed Tipper on a six-month good behaviour bond. No convictions were recorded.
