BRISBANE Lions young gun Lewis Taylor has landed himself in hot water after being charged over an alleged $10,000 crime spree.



Police have charged the 2014 Rising Star winner over a criminal rampage they say saw eight cars smashed up with a stolen seat belt buckle in October last year.

The Herald Sun has confirmed Taylor, 20, has been charged with one count of theft, and one count of criminal damage.

It is alleged he stole the seat belt buckle in his hometown of Mortlake before smashing the windscreens of eight vehicles, including a garbage truck and four tip trucks.

Charming little fella

So stealing the rising star award wasn't enough for him?

 

[Bennett.]

How do you steal a seat belt buckle?

 

[Heaps of fun]

Use your imagination, mate.

Gold

What a moron, hope a massive fine is thrown at him

 

[TedDougChris]

He's just trying to prove that he can hit a target and cause some damage, go easy on him....

Smashing 8 windows, such a random act as well.

I mean, even if I smashed a car window I think I'd be over it after the first one or two.

Seems the Queensland clubs are struggling to keep their players in line.

Seriously, smashing random people's car windows is such a ratbag, loser thing to do. Its what you'd expect from some druggy no life teenagers, not a professional AFL player and recent Rising Star winner earning big money and being lauded by the media.

Really says something about his character that he thinks its ok

The Brisbane Lions released a brief statement on Wednesday afternoon, saying they were aware of the court case. "He has co-operated fully with the investigation and is sorry for his actions. The club will not be taking any further action in relation to the matter," it said.

What the hell? How does the club not sanction him on these actions?

Taylor doesnt usually stay in a line anyway, hes more of a sideways runner...

The culture is rotten up there. Both Brisbane and GC are in big trouble.

Ill take smashed windows over drug benders any day of the week.

What is it with these self-entitled little pricks that play AFL that they think that this is acceptable. Sorry my arse. This sort of s**t is happening far too often.

At one stage Jarrad Grant went to check on the commotion, but, after appearing to notice who it was, he turned around and went back to bed.

Police were reportedly surprised by the overall lack of serious damage.


“He gets the seat belt and runs around in circles, but he certainly doesn’t hurt you,” one insider said.

 

[HollyZholm]

I think we should go easy on Lewis Taylor.

 

[RUNVS]

Well at least he is not accused of hurting anyone so that is a positive at least.

Surely he was completely off his nut to be doing something so ridiculous in the first place? Your run of the mill car thieves/vandals typically dont have salaries over 100k

You think he was sober when he made the decision to go around mashing windows, or is that the type of logical, rational decision Taylor would make in his typical day-to-day life?

Alcohol makes young people do stupid s**t.

See post above, smart arse.

You never lived in Melbourne, did you?

Seriously wtf. The kid is meant to be a potential future leader. Just not acceptable at all.
