Police will allege Eels forward Kenny Edwards fled from officers on foot after he was pulled over for a random roadside check last month as the immediate playing future of the controversial enforcer once again hangs in the balance.
Edwards, 28, will face Fairfield Local Court on Tuesday after waiting almost a month to tell Parramatta officials of a summons to appear in court, where he is accused of abandoning a vehicle he was driving in Sydney's west on a suspended licence.

And he was also suspended for the first seven rounds of last season and fined $60,000 over a domestic violence incident, having poured alcohol over the head of his partner during an argument.
Parramatta and NRL officials will frown upon the fact Edwards didn't report the traffic incident until more than three weeks after the fact - and just days out from his scheduled appearance in court.
In a statement provided to Fairfax Media, NSW Police said: "About 7.45am on Thursday 19 April 2018, police observed a Holden Cruze on Sherwood Road at Merrylands West, and conducted a u-turn to speak with the driver.
Wow, it's not looking great for Edwards
