Greg Inglis has been charged with speeding and drink driving, just hours after being appointed as the new Australian Rugby League captain.
Police say the Rabbitohs superstar was behind the wheel of a black Mercedes detected speeding at Lithgow at about 2.15pm on Monday.
The 31-year-old allegedly returned a positive breath test, was arrested and taken to the local police station for further testing.
Inglis allegedly returned a reading of .085 and has been charged with mid-range drink driving and speeding.
His license has been suspended and he’ll face court next month.
Inglis was on his way home from Dubbo after taking part in the Koori Knockout, an indigenous football competition.

Just two hours before his arrest, Inglis was appointed as the new Kangaroos captain.
That appointment, and his position in the team, is now in doubt.
Coach Mal Meninga took a hardline stance with Canberra forward Josh Papalii last year, dumping him from the squad for drink driving.
