A disgraced Queensland mayor has spent the night behind bars for breaching bail conditions after allegedly drink-driving through suburbs in Brisbane’s south-east and crashing his car.

Queensland Police allege suspended Logan Mayor Luke Smith was arrested about 4.30pm yesterday after he side-swiped another car while driving to get food from KFC, before crashing his vehicle into a tree in Meadowbank.

It is alleged residents in the vicinity of the crash had to prevent Smith from fleeing the scene, until police arrived and he was taken to the Brisbane City watch house.

The 49-year-old allegedly returned a blood-alcohol reading of 0.139 – almost three times the legal limit for Queensland drivers.

Smith did not appear in Beenleigh Magistrates Court today and was granted bail to reappear in the same court on May 23.

The mayor was suspended from the Logan City Council in March last year and was charged with corruption as part of an investigation led by the Queensland Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC).

Smith's arrest comes on the same day the entire Logan Council could be thrown out amid a corruption investigation. (9news)
