Matthew Edward Miller: Father of three faces court for public nuisance at Kingaroy Hotel

A man said he had ‘no recollection’ of the night he manage to clamber onto the roof of a Kingaroy Hotel before kicking and screaming when security pulled him down. Full report:

An “upsetting” argument with a former partner is being blamed for a farm worker drinking so heavily he lost all recollection of a night that ended with him being pulled from a pub roof and locked up.

Matthew Edward Miller, 25, got into an argument with the mother of one of his three children on June 9 this year.

The dairy farmer made his way to Kingaroy Hotel, where his night rapidly went downhill.

Police were called to the venue at around 2.30am after Miller clambered onto the roof of the drinking spot and began yelling.

Police prosecutor Lisa Manns said when security guards attempted to get Miller off the roof, his belligerence escalated.

“Whilst resisting (security) the defendant was kicking and screaming,” Sgt Manns said.

The Kingaroy Hotel, Youngman St, Kingaroy.

Miller was eventually removed from the roof and handed to police officers, before being taken to the Kingaroy Watchouse.

The 25-year-old pleaded guilty in Kingaroy Magistrates Court to one count of committing public nuisance in the vicinity of a licensed venue.

Lawyer Alan Korobacz told the court his client had an excellent work history, and was currently working as a dairy farmer near Gympie.

Miller was fined $500 and no conviction was recorded.
