A drunk Australian was whacked on the head by a baker wielding a rolling pin after running amok in a bakery while looking for an early morning feed, a court was told. Ipswich Magistrate's Court heard the man poked his finger in several pies as bakers tried to evict him.
Prosecutor Tara Pease said Craig Moyle, 34, walked through the rear door of Billy Mac's Bakery at Brassall, 40km southwest of Brisbane, at 1.30am on October 8.
Constable Pease said the store was closed for business, but bakers were baking and had left the door open because of the heat coming from the ovens. The court was told staff asked Moyle to leave and he eventually left after grabbing a pie.
Constable Pease said Moyle returned moments later and threw the pie, saying it tasted awful. "He throws the pie ... (and says) it is s--t." She also said Moyle then started running around the kitchen sticking his fingers in pies and pushed a tray of shortbread off a bench.
The court was told Moyle challenged the staff to fight him and one baker took the opportunity to crack him over the head with a rolling pin. He was unconscious for a short time and was arrested by police.
Moyle pleaded guilty to one count of wilful damage. Acting magistrate Brad Skuse fined Moyle $300 and ordered he pay $30 restitution for spoilage of the food.
