Peter Wallace charged over alleged pub scuffle
He allegdly refused to leave the pub
He was taken to hospital with injuries from scuffle
ONE of the Brisbane Broncos star players has been arrested and charged after an incident at a Sunshine Coast hotel last night.
Halfback Peter Wallace was injured in a scuffle with bouncers when he refused to leave O'Malley's Irish pub at Mooloolaba about midnight, the Courier-Mail reports.
Wallace, a NSW Origin player, was taken to Maroochydore police station, where an ambulance was called. He was then taken to Nambour hospital before later signing himself out.
He is due to appear in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on November 14 charged with disorderly behaviour and failing to leave a licensed premises.
It is understood Wallace received a small cut to his head and was not seriously injured.
The Brisbane Broncos have launched their own investigation into the matter and a spokesman is expected to make a comment later today.
The incident is the latest in a disastrous period for the Broncos.
Three players remain under investigation for sexual assault following an incident in a Brisbane nightclub toilet.
In a separate incident during last month's finals series, captain Darren Lockyer manhandled a bar manager during a drunken night on the town.
I give up sometimes... if it were anyone else you'd just sack them but its been all the key players messing up this year... please guys keep it together, the next fringe first grader that even sneezes at red hill is going to hit the open market so quick his feet won't even touch the ground!
