The premiership-winner was said to have been picked up by police in Canning Vale, Western Australia on Tuesday night.   

He is expected to appear in court later today in what is the latest chapter in his sad story.

The 38-year-old was hospitalised late last month following a car crash after an arrest warrant was issued for failing to appear in a Perth court on charges of possessing methamphetamine and two counts of breaching a violence restraining order.

He had been ordered to stay away from the mother of his two young children.

More to come.
