Shot of Pine-O-Cleen Coming Right Up…
MELBOURNE (Reuters) – An Australian “prankster” barmaid who served a patron a shot of disinfectant has appeared in court over what her lawyers said was a “misguided” joke.
Melbourne barmaid Emily Craig, 23, served a client a single 30ml shot glass of Pine-O-Cleen disinfectant in March during a 6 a.m. drinking bout at Evolution Nightclub, causing him to become violently ill, the Melbourne Magistrates court was told.
“This was a misguided joke at an ungodly hour,” Craig’s lawyer George Balot told the judge, according to reports on Tuesday in local newspapers.
