Assault ‘out of character’

A TEENAGER who kicked a paramedic during a night out in Surfers Paradise has walked from court and ordered to pay $400 in compensation.

Zoe Michelle Camilleri claimed the assault was after she drank a large amount of vodka which she had “a bad reaction” to, and she had no recollection of the events.

Camilleri, 19, pleaded guilty in Southport Magistrates Court to one count of unlawfully assaulting a public officer who was performing their duties.

Magistrate Mark Howden ordered Camilleri pay the paramedic $400 in compensation and placed her on a $600 good behaviour bond for 12 months.

“This seems to be out of character for you,” he said.

The court heard paramedics were trying to treat Camilleri who was drifting in and out of consciousness on Orchid Ave about 1.35am on July 21.
