The 43-year-old local had been with friends at Kingaroy's Club Hotel until 9pm the previous night, where he was allegedly involved in a scuffle with several NRL agents in town for the annual rugby league schoolboys carnival.

At the time, police said they were reviewing CCTV footage from the hotel, but could not confirm reports Mr Miles had been involved in an altercation with Mr Sutton outside the pub.
