NRL stars Latrell Mitchell and Jack Wighton have been arrested over an alleged incident near a Canberra nightclub in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Mitchell and Wighton, who were out celebrating Wighton’s 30th birthday before returning to NRL All Stars camp in Sydney, are alleged to have been wrestling between themselves in Canberra’s CBD.

A statement provided to the Herald by ACT police confirmed that Mitchell was arrested for resisting arrest once police were called by witnesses.

“About 3.45am today (Sunday, 5 February 2023), ACT Policing responded to reports of a disturbance near a nightclub on Bunda Street in the city,” the police statement read.

“Two men - a 30-year-old from Bywong, NSW and a 25-year-old man from Chifley, NSW - were arrested at the scene.

“The 30-year-old has been charged with fight in a public place and fail to comply with an exclusion direction, while the 25-year-old has been charged with fight in a public place, affray, and resist territory public official. They are expected to face the ACT Magistrates Court at a later date.”

An NRL spokesman confirmed the matter is being investigated by the NRL Integrity Unit.
More to come.

Won’t happen need to be available for All Stars

Queue the grovelling apologies and claims about wanting to be role models.

Latrell can serve his suspension in 2027.

It's what the fans want, after all.

F-cksticks in Series:

 

[Woodsie]

Can anything be dumber than a "Known" NRL superstar ... deciding to argue with the coppers and resist arrest ... it was probably just a caution until then ....

 

[Bloke on the hill]

Meeting early expectations.

Latrine in offseason trouble with the police?
Shocked I tells ya, shocked.

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

Must've been one hell of a birthday party…

I know that even athletes are allowed to have fun, but I would not be happy if any of our highly-paid players were out on the piss at 3.45am on a Sunday morning, especially when they were away "in camp" for a rep game.

 

[Golden Greek]

I thought the off season was a bit quiet this year - Thanks Jack and Latrell for keeping the form going

Yes v stupid and arrogant. Most of the attitude problems stem from the nrl no longer having any ‘players’, every single player is now a ‘star’ at a minimum and the rest are ‘super stars’. I think the media need to hit the reset button and get back to calling players what most of them are ‘players’, realistically there are only a few ‘stars’ maybe then some of these players might find some humility and act more appropriately

I thought Latrell was a changed man since coming back from the US?? Well, that's what I keep reading anyway. Seems they need to reactivate the PR folks at the Rabbits.

 

[Rocky]

The NRL off-season.

The gift that keeps giving.

 

[Frogz]

THis must upset News Ltd so much. Its taken their 10 year old Manly drug article off the front pages.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Mates on the piss getting the biff on.

No drama

Mates on the piss resisting arrest.

Dickheads

A former footy star has been cleared of assaulting a man during a road rage incident after a court found he was acting in defence of his family and the driver's evidence was unreliable.

He played one game off the bench for a Baby Bronco side decimated by injury 🤦🏻‍♂️ yet he's a star!
