Newcastle Knights second rower Chris Houston will face drug supply charges next month after being served today with a court attendance notice by police.
Houston, 25, will face three counts of supplying ecstasy and one count of supplying cocaine following investigations by Strike Force Welham.
Strike Force investigators charged Houston's former flatmate and former Knights teammate Danny Wicks with drug supply charges on December 16.
Knights officials are in crisis meetings to discuss the development but it is understood he will be stood down from all club duties indefinitely.
Police issued a statement this afternoon that at 10.30am today, Strike Force Welham officers served court attendance notices on a Kotara man via his lawyers.
Houston will appear at Newcastle Local Court on April 13.

Newcastle for the spoon this year is firming as a good bet.

Thats just f**king brilliant that is

 

[Johns Magic]

Ohhhhhh sh*t bitch...

 

[Cletus]

Great timing. But what an idiot. At least the drug culture is getting cleaned out.

 

[aqua_duck]

If its proven to be true than he is a f*cking idiot of the highest order, he was on good money and in line for an upgraded contract, also is on the fringe of rep honours, to throw that away for abit of extra cash on the side is just stupid considering the guy is a University graduate

 

[Dutchy]

No drug culture in Newcastle....

 

[Ike E Bear]

Ouch.

 

[Frederick]

Oh get f**ked

 

[God-King Dean]

Using a pic with white all over his face. Coincidence? lol

 

[Bazal]

On the bright side for Newie, at least he'll be sacked and this culture will be well and truly on the outer

 

[Godz Illa]

Wow.

Wicks was a wanker before he left Saints so his shenanigans were no great surprise... but with Houston, this is a real shock

 

[Non Terminator]

Poor bloody Knights fans.

 

[JessEel]

feelin' for you Knights fans - hope this all gets behind you asap

 

[God-King Dean]

On the bright side for Newie, at least he'll be sacked and this culture will be well and truly on the outer

Just shows that it never really left.

 

[Downie]

Drugs are as part of Newcastle as fish are as part of the ocean.

 

[Twigg]

Well he was living with Wicks...

This sucks. What perfect timing as well.

IMO someone on the board must go. Didn't they clear the rest of the squad after Wicks??? If they did they must go how can fans have respect for them now

 

[Ulysseus]

Starting to kind of understand why Saints never really tried to retain the services of both Wicks and Houston with any real vigor.
nospam29!

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

Houston we have a problem :sarcasm:

Apparently the phone tapps revealed someone else in the squad, this was stated a while ago, and now we know who the media was referring to.
The stupid part is Houston probably knew this was coming and resisted the chance to come clean and instead has waited to be busted.
Grade A - c**k Bone.
