A nightclub owner drove his car into a fence following an afternoon drinking session, a court heard.
Aodhan Rory Mccann, 32, pleaded guilty to drink driving in the Gladstone Magistrates Court on Monday.
On August 5, around midnight, Gladstone police attended the scene of a car accident which involved a damaged fence on Park Street, West Gladstone.

A breath test revealed Mccann had a blood-alcohol concentration of .153 per cent.

Magistrate Bevan Manthey convicted and fined Mccann $2000 and suspended him from driving for six months.
