Funny how every time a player is busted for something like this, they reveal they have an alcohol or drug problem & the incident they get busted for is the one that makes them decide they need help.
Whatever happened to owning up & taking full responsibility for your actions, whether halfcut or sober?
Sounds to me like he was going to deny it until he saw the footage of him doing it. I assume the other 3 counts weren’t on the footage or as clear to see, hence the police dropping them.
Also, if he’d had 20 drinks shouldn’t the Sheaf’s staff have removed him from the premises as per RSA?
I suspect he was also on the nose beers if he was able to convince staff he wasn’t over the limit.
