One of the state’s top NRL players was questioned by police over staggering reports he was seen trespassing at a Gold Coast property early on Sunday morning.
The Titans’ star signing, 20-year-old David Fifita, was picked up by Gold Coast police after reports he was trespassing at a Clear Island Waters property about 8am.
The Courier-Mail understands Fifita had been drinking at the time of the incident and had accidentally gone to the wrong room at the right address.
It’s understood he had gone to meet a woman when the mix up happened.
According to a Queensland Police Service spokesman, Fifita was taken to the Broadbeach police station where he was questioned by officers.
He was later released without charge, however investigations are continuing.
An NRL spokesman on Sunday said the incident had been referred to the Integrity Unit.
“The Gold Coast Titans have reported an alleged incident involving David Fifita to the Integrity Unit,” the spokesman said.
“The Integrity Unit is liaising with both the Queensland Police and the club.”
Fifita, who started the year at the Brisbane Broncos, accepted a deal worth over $3 million when he signed with Titans in July.
“It’s a great signing for the club,” Titans head of culture Mal Meninga said at the time.
Fifita had previously spent three days behind bars in a Bali prison after he was accused of allegedly assaulting a security guard outside a Seminyak nightclub in 2019.
