Melbourne Storm star Greg Inglis charged with assaulting girlfriend
August 10, 2009
Melbourne Storm star Greg Inglis has been charged with an alleged assault on his girlfriend and has been stood down by the club indefinitely.
The decision was made by the club's board after Greg Inglis was charged by Victoria Police over a domestic incident that occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning.
As a result, Melbourne Storm CEO Brian Waldron said Greg Inglis, 22, would be stood down by the club for an indefinite period.
"The board has tonight made the decision to stand Greg Inglis down for an indefinite period," Waldron said.
"The Melbourne Storm is vehemently opposed to any situation that in any way endangers the health, safety and wellbeing of any woman.
"The club has taken a strong stance in the past towards behaviour of this type and will continue to do so in the future.
"As such this decision is made in the best interests of all parties concerned."
Victoria Police would not confirm Inglis as the charged man but said a 22-year-old Altona Meadows man had been arrested about noon (EST) on Monday.
"He was bailed to appear at the Sunshine Magistrates' Court on Wednesday on charges of recklessly causing injury and unlawful assault," a Victoria Police spokeswoman said.
The police spokesperson would not confirm the nature of the alleged injuries or when and where the alleged incident took place.
The NRL has been made aware of allegations against Inglis, but are awaiting further information from the NRL club before commenting.
It is yet another major blow to the NRL's credibility as Inglis had been one of two stars for the code's major advertising campaign.
The Queensland Origin star and Manly's Brett Stewart were the faces of the campaign filmed in the off-season, Inglis promoted to top billing in March when Stewart was charged with sexual assault.
The NRL re-worked the $1.5 million campaign to remove Stewart from the advertising and focus entirely on Inglis.
