Michael Jennings Arrested for "Aggressive Behaviour"

[Wearnze]

NSW State of Origin star Michael Jennings has been arrested and charged with offensive behaviour after an overnight drinking session in Parramatta.

The man-of-the-match from Wednesday night’s game in Melbourne was arrested at approximately 2.30am in the company of one of his brothers.
According to a police statement officers from Parramatta Local Area Command were patrolling a car park at Erby Place, when they allegedly saw a man kicking a boom gate.
As they walked up to him another man approached the officers allegedly in an aggressive manner.
The man, aged 27, was arrested and taken to Parramatta Police Station where he was charged with hindering police and offensive behaviour.
The other man, aged 19, allegedly kicked the boom gate and was later issued with a criminal infringement notice for offensive behaviour.

His club the Sydney Roosters were notified on Saturday morning and have reported the incident to the NRL integrity unit.
“We are still waiting for more details,” said Roosters chief executive Brian Canavan.
“He’s been squeaky clean with us at the Roosters and that’s why this is so surprising.
“From a club point of view we’re really disappointed he was out at that time of night.”
The Roosters will release a statement later today.

He will get nothing according to NRL logic. It will be swept under the carpet as usual

Police have released a statement saying that a man was seen kicking a boom gate.

Nothing to worry, Uncle Nick will use his powers to resolve the matter..

I'm prepared to give Jennings the ok until we know more. It appears it wasn't him who broke the gate and he could have simply en defending his brother... but the guy does have a history.

You can take the boy out of penrif but you can't take penrif out of the boy

Disappointed in hearing this as I expect better from Jennings, have to wait and see what happens now.

Honestly the charges against him are almost innuendo at this stage.

"Hindering Police and Offensive Behaviour" could literally be anything at this point and i'm well prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt. You could literally be charged by police if you swear at them

Media beat up. Jennings is a douche but nothing in it.

 

[MatstaDogg]

Is this like another Loko media story?

 

[Thehighballl]

The Drinking culture is disgusting.

Whats worse: agressive behaviour towards the ref or agressive behaviour towards the police

Jennings should face as a minimum the penalty James Graham got

So.. who misses out on Origin 3.

Superstar Michael Jennings or Supersub Josh Jackson?

Jennings will be fine. In the eyes of the NRL, the police are not a protected species. So, just a fine for bringing the game into disrepute will suffice.

What a retard

Please. This is the Nrl, you can bash a woman and/or glass her and not only will you not be punished, you'll be rewarded. Isn't that right, Greg Inglis and Greg Bird?

It really depends on whether you're in the "protected species" category or in the "other" category.

I don't think Jennings is in the "protected species" category so they will probably suspend him a couple of games and miss Origin. Most Roosters players have been in the other category, just look at Sam Moa getting suspended for "tapping" the referee. Now that SBW is gone they are no longer protected imo.

Protected species are anyone who plays for the Storm, Rabbitohs, Titans and Broncos.

 

[sgodllubsti]

and a 1 game suspension handed down by the roosters.....lets see how greenturd comes down on this

 

[Stoofy]

Sounds like a nothing incident tbh...

Nothing more than a slap on the wrist and community service. Of course the NRL won't make a big deal out of thins purely because Jennings doesn't play for the bulldogs. Can imagine this would have made the back page of the tele if it were one of our players.
