UPDATE: A Mount Julian man who knocked a bloke unconscious with a single punch in Airlie Beach has been told he is lucky the man woke up.
Robert Terence Marshall spent Monday night in police custody after facing Proserpine Magistrates Court to plead guilty to public nuisance.
During Monday’s proceedings, the charge was downgraded from assault occasioning bodily harm to public nuisance.
Marshall, 24, appeared via videolink at Bowen Magistrates Court on Tuesday morning to find out his sentence.
