The 27-year-old was arrested at his home nearby before he was taken to Sutherland Hospital.

Some six months later, on Monday, Mr Scott was issued a number of Court Attendance Notices.

He has been charged with drive vehicle under influence of alcohol, drive with middle range PCA, and negligent driving (no death or grievous bodily harm).

Police said in a statement they will allege Mr Scott drove with a mid-range PCA which is anywhere between 0.08 and 0.15.

It’s also understood that Mr Scott has had his driving licence suspended.

The former young gun has not played rugby league professionally since 2021, and he has moved instead to a career in combat sports, including boxing.

He is due to appear at Sutherland Local Court on 15 January 2026.
