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.

there must be some evidence for him to be arrested, but the timing?

It is a bit weird, as if they've looked at the fixture and waited for him to be back in Perth. I'm sure it'll all come out in the next couple of days.

This is what happens when you have s**t mates, cos there's no way in hell an AFL listed player decides they're gonna go on a burglary spree on a whim when you're spending the off season at home.

He’s got a pretty significant history of wrongdoings though.

Extradition issue I'm assuming?

 

[Wosh]

Holy shit

 

[Strange Cat]

Wowee

 

[Boxhead_31]

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

Will use the same mechanism they used with Cousins

 

[Boxhead_31]

This sort of stupidity is pretty funny

Nah nothing funny in this.
It is sad all round

For some, the action is the juice.

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.

Aggravated burglary​

Burglary is committed when a person trespasses a building with the intention to steal or assault a person. Burglary is aggravated if 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.

County Court of Victoria

Victoria's principal trial court hears and determines criminal, common law and commercial matters.

It always boggles the mind an AFL player, who is usually a highly paid individual with great networks and connections, can still find their way into organised crime. And if it isn’t organised crime, what on earth is he thinking doing something so brazen by himself?

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

What a loser.

I thought aggravated meant someone was home at the time of the break in I could be wrong also though

Not many deadbeats get the chance he has been given. If true I don't want to hear even a hint of a sob story.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Is he part of some gang where he must participate or his family is under threat or something?

 

[TheUnicorn]

What an idiot.

 

[1990crow]

Sounds like a shit person. Allegedly.

Richmond statement

 

[Hawks_4478]

?

This isn’t his first rodeo

 

[RAPPA]

What a stupid dead$hit. Kids have to suffer having a complete moron of a father.

 

[fpm84]

Interesting timing, as if WA Police were waiting for him to enter the state to arrest him?

 

[Xtreme]

Not touching this one

Sucks for Richmond as a club and the supporters, but honestly they knew the risks when drafting the player.

 

[Gratees]

Yeah lets just ****ing throw my life away, stupid and sad

 

[CrowToon]

Something something tiger never changes it's stripes.

 

[iBeng]

This is downright bizarre really...

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

The racists are already loving this.
