Latrell arrested

[rented tracksuit]

Never mind, with his new gig on Foxtel he’ll do a tell all and come out as the victim. Also, it’s not the first time the numbskulled boofhead Wighton has been arrested whilst on a night out in Canberra.

Yep. I thought he had given himself a ban on being in Civic at night? Wasn’t it part of his apology or something?

Obviously more to it. They were supposedly fighting not play wrestling.

The night started well, "Happy dirty thurty cuz" then after a few sherbets latrell started yelling "6 again!" all the while waving his arm in the air.

Lot of assumptions as to the seriousness (or lack of) regarding this incident. Charges: fight in a public place, fail to comply with an exclusion direction, resist arrest. Again, fight in a public place, fail to comply with an exclusion direction, resist arrest.

Most Cops I know are pretty tolerant of a good natured wrestle between two mate who may have had a few too many.. Possibly more too it,

Either way, it's pretty simples, don't fight in public, move on when asked and don't resist arrest. If you have been given those directions and been unable to comply, it's pretty safe to say you have an issue of some consequence.

You've gotta remember this is Canberra. For better or worse it's a bit of a nanny state and I can picture that this sorta behaviour would lead to an arrest.

Sounds like the cops told them to get farked, they resisted and then the cops threw the book at them (I could look-up the max punishment & what an exclusion order is, but I'm way too tired after a day of gardening and taking ~10 boot-loads of green waste to the green waste place, whatever you call it. Brain's officially fried. Might have a look in the morning if nobody else has).

Mitchell, 25, was charged with resisting territory public official along with fighting in a public place and failing to comply with an exclusion direction.

Guessing they'll get some minor punishment and we'll have forgotten about this by round 2.

To me this sorta thing always says more about the intelligence of players than anything. Canberra's a small town and a nanny state - WHY have your massive birthday piss-up there?!? Have a dinner on Lonsdale St at some hipster joint + a few beers... SURE! However, don't wander the streets of Civic at 3:45am (it's dead anyway!)

Seriously if you're both on $1m a year then you can afford to be ANYWHERE in Canberra. Why Bunda St at some pickup joint at 3:45am?!?!? I don't wanna say it but you are ASKING for something to happen!

Instead they should rented a penthouse with a club-style sound/lighting system, linked up with Nick Kyrgios, called-in some high class strippers, smashed a heap of beers and then hit up Maccas for breakfast. Instead they were fighting on Bunda Street like a bunch of farking peasants... some prude called the cops and they're now a headline. Stupid stuff there!!!

Nanny state.??? You can grow your own dope and isn't prostitution legal

I mean more in relationship to hooliganism and public disturbances. Hear your point though (however not sure why everybody thinks that porn/prostitution's big here given it's restricted to two industrial areas, whereas it's legal all over Sydney? Meh).

Talk coming out of NRL HQ is a proposed Indigenous Voice to the NRL. Long overdue. If we had one, this type of incident just wouldn't happen.

You need to read up on what exactly the Indigenous Voice to Parliament actually is/means.
Wait, you can't do that, because Albo can't or won't tell the details.

Look up Victoria's Voice, actually in place.
It'll likely scare you into voting NO in the federal referendum.

Restrictions meh! It’s everywhere. Just get a Canberra Times newspaper and the classifieds are full of ads charging for a root.

Latrell-whilst being restrained and placed under arrest -
“ stop it you’re hurting me”. Here we go again with the police brutality against the innocent black man line…..
Maybe, just maybe, if you weren’t being a dickhead and breaking the law in the first place, the cops wouldn’t have had to be involved.
It’s called ACCOUNTABILITY

Latrell yells, my shoulders when the police had him pinned down, lol that chip must be so heavy.

Two very not smart people doing a very not smart thing. No news here.

[QUOTE=Headless Chook; Seems like a beat up and overreation to me. They were wrestling each other and bystanders called the cops, so what's the actual crime? I would be asking the police what I was being charged with too if I was Mitchell and Wighton.

The charges are mentioned in an earlier post. Trell is charged with, inter alia, Affray which is quite serious, hardly "wrestling". Affray is conduct which puts others in fear of their safety. I would imagine that the "others" in this case would have been the police attending. Trell is charged on more counts than Wighton including resisting arrest but we saw flashes of that excessive behaviour when he was in the side and again in the Manu incident. Musta been a handful up in Taree growing up.

Hope his shoulders are okay

[Kelby]

Teflon Fatrell will get off and no punishment will be given by the NRL racist pigs .......

Think what could have happened if the fattrell fell on the copper
