Public urinator makes return to Airlie Beach
A MAN who was banned from the Safe Night Precinct after urinating outside McDonald’s allegedly broke the police order just three days later.
On September 8, a 28-year-old Gold Coast man was given a 10-day ban from the Safe Night Precinct for urinating in public.
Three days later about 11pm, a security guard alerted police that the Gold Coast man was trying to enter a licensed premise in the Safe Night Precinct.
He was issued a notice to appear in the Proserpine Magistrates Court.
