September 11, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

A drunken spectator whose behaviour was so bad that a referee had to stop a junior rugby league match was sentenced to 80 hours unpaid community service when he appeared in Murgon Magistrates Court today.<\/p>\n

Police Prosecutor Sgt Pepe Gangemi said Alfred James Fisher, 37, swore at the referee, spectators and police and refused to move on despite warnings from police.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred on June 2 at Murgon Sportsground.<\/p>\n

Fisher pleaded guilty to committing a public nuisance.\u00a0He was on a suspended sentence at the time\u00a0after being convicted of other offences earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Solicitor Mark Oliver, for Fisher, said his clients’ actions had been clouded by alcohol. \u00a0He had turned up at the ground expecting to play football but was “extremely inebriated”.<\/p>\n

“In his eyes he was barracking for his team, unfortunately he was using expletives,” Mr Oliver said.<\/p>\n

He realised now what what he had done was unacceptable and was remorseful for his actions.<\/p>\n

“When the brief was read today he realised how inebriated he was at the time,” Mr Oliver said.<\/p>\n

Magistrate Mark Bucknall said people should not have to put up with behaviour like this at a football match.<\/p>\n

As well as the community service, he ordered that the operational period of Fisher’s suspended sentence be extended a further six months. A conviction was recorded.<\/p>\n
