Wallabies star Karmichael Hunt has been charged with cocaine possession after being arrested in the early hours of Saturday morning.
According to Fox Sports Australia it is understood Hunt, 31, was arrested with another man in a car park at about 3am on Saturday morning in McLachlan St, Fortitude Valley.
His high-profile lawyer Adam Magill said an incident happened this morning and his client was arrested.
“An incident involving Karmichael Hunt occurred which resulted in his arrest,” he said.
“At this stage no further instructions have been taken.
“There were two males involved and there has been a subsequent charge of possession. They have been charged conjointly.”
A police spokesman confirmed a 31-year-old man had been charged with two counts of drug possession.
Another man, 32, was charged with possession of a thing used in regards to a drug offence.
Hunt’s charges come months after he re-signed with the Wallabies and the Reds, saying he was ready for a “new take on life” after being embroiled in the Gold Coast Suns cocaine scandal while playing AFL.
