Scandal Marlion Pickett - In Custody for multiple offences - Later bailed.

[Wosh]

Pickett has been charged by WA Police with four counts of aggravated burglary, with three counts of stealing and three counts of criminal damage among his other charges.
The alleged offences took place between December 2022 and January 2023.
Pickett has a “strong intent” to defend himself, his manager Anthony Van Der Wielen told 7NEWS in a statement.

Racist comments will immediately cop a long break from Bigfooty, discuss the issue not the skin colour or race.
Thank you.

P.S This thread has nothing to do with the Clarkson/Racism review discussion.
This thread is not the place to discuss the prison system and prisoner rehabilitation, you can take that to the SRP board.
This is the scandals and rumours board only, please stay on topic in here.

Love him as a player but damn... that's a pretty stupid bloke if true.

 

[catters05]

Wow, does look like Perth police waited for him to return to state.

Thats alot of charges

 

[Pancakes]

Gee Dimma really did pick the perfect time to abandon the sinking ship.

Those who are saying this is sad, Spare me. Not an off the cuff decision. What an absolute #!@$ bloke.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Are you saying the article is made up and he wasn't actually arrested?

I’m saying that the racists are loving that a black man got arrested and they get to push their stereotypes and racial generalization.

 

[Trav 20]

Nah nothing funny in this.
It is sad all round

Sad for the victims.

 

[westhawk]

But he’s a Richmond man, playing the Richmond way.

 

[freddy mercury]

Will use the same mechanism they used with Cousins

What was that? I'm a little too young to remember

 

[banzai]

He's been bloody brilliant this season as well....

Has been playing good footy...

Hes been awful for most of the season. Lost his spot on the wing and hardly touches it up forward.

 

[BuddysBiggestFan]

Just when Caro is overseas too

How convenient

 

[Occidental]

Richmond have to stand him down immediately. These are very serious charges. Reported to be aggravated burglary.

 

[WillHayward]

The racists are already loving this.

They are coming out of their caves...

(The caves with sky news satellites)

Looks like youre the first one to bring race up?

 

[RAPPA]

Surely it wasn't a fence picket as the choice of weapon for the aggravated burglary?

 

[coldlunch]

Was commercial property apparently. From memory aggravated means they were armed/had weapons or maybe that they broke in.

My memory is hazy. Crim law was 20 odd years ago.

could be as simple as someone being present at the time. supremely stupid, whatever the circumstances.

 

[Toump Ass]

Home invasion? *

According to Fox Footy he has been charged with robbing commercial properties.

Aggravated Burglary- someone is present during the burglary and the offender knew or was reckless as to the fact, or if the offender has a weapon or fake weapon.

Edit: Beaten to it. My illegal stream I am currently stealing is a bit behind sorry.
"Just call me Sandra!!!"

Elaborate, please.

 

[Elixuh]

Pretty sad
What a shame

That could be a range of things... Some serious and some not.

 

[W.C. Fry]

Is this the guy that won a flag in his first game?

Yep.
Couple of premiership medals going up for auction soon. Be able to get them for a steal.

 

[Hawks_4478]

It's still a surprise to me regardless

He’s done it before, how can you be surprised!?!

 

[WillHayward]

Elaborate, please.

Scroll up and see for urself

If guilty he’s a complete moron.

It’s still sad though, we thought the guy had turned his life around, it was a great story for what footy can do for a person.

Instead he becomes another statistic and his kids will have to grow up with a dad in prison.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Surly end of his time in the AFL? The league can ban him, can't they?

They will probably stand him down but they wont/ban or deregister him until IF he is found guilty, same as other sports leagues have done.

 

[Pickitt]

Elaborate, please.

And they want a voice

I mean..
