Former State of Origin and Brisbane Broncos great Trevor Gillmeister is facing multiple charges after allegedly assaulting a police officer outside a Brisbane pub.
It’s alleged an incident was occurring inside the Stock Exchange Hotel in the Brisbane CBD on Friday night when a member of the public approached officers to tell them what was happening.
Gillmeister was allegedly trying to punch one of the staff members inside and was evicted.

When officers approached the 61-year-old to arrest him as a public nuisance, he allegedly shoved one of the officers and then got into a physical altercation with him.
9News understands that the officer’s vest was almost pulled entirely off him.
Gillmeister was arrested, taken to the Brisbane Watchhouse and charged with assaulting a police officer, obstructing police and public nuisance.
He will face court in early December.
Reached for comment on Monday evening, Gillmeister declined to comment.
