Wellington Pheonix may find themselves with more than just a red face after two of their players broke their coronavirus lockdown protocols to allegedly drive a golf cart along a busy Sydney road whilst topless and drunk.
New Zealand international Tim Payne was arrested by New South Wales police at 1 am local time on Tuesday, with authorities claiming that the player was joy-riding the cart on Wakehurst Parkway on Sydney's northern beaches.
It is alleged that Payne's breathalyser results showed a mid-range PCA (Prescribed Concentration of Alcohol) and he was taken back to Mona Vale Police Station, while onlookers told The Daily Telegraph that both players were shirtless during the escapade.
