Aussie football star in dark doo doo

[Aussie George]

HERE is the mugshot of fallen AFL legend Wayne Carey, who could face jail after an arrest in the US over a wild clash with his girlfriend and Miami police.

Just 48 hours after police used capsicum spray on Carey and handcuffed him at his Port Melbourne apartment, the Herald Sun has learned he is already facing serious charges in Miami.Carey was arrested and charged by Miami police during a holiday with girlfriend Kate Neilson last October.

Ms Neilson allegedly told police the former football great smashed a wine glass on her face, cutting her mouth and neck.

If convicted of third degree felony charges in Florida, penalties include up to five years' jail, five years' probation and a $US5000 fine.

Police were called to the five-star Mandarin Oriental Hotel about midnight on October 27. They found Carey, 36, asleep in his room.

Official police reports say that when they woke him he appeared drunk and lashed out, kicking one officer in the mouth and elbowing another in the face.

He was taken to Dade County jail where he was charged with assaulting a public servant, resisting an officer with violence and aggravated battery. He is due to face the Miami-Dade County Court on February 15.

Miami police spokesman Napier Velazquez said Carey was required to be in court to answer the charges.
"The charges are considered very serious," Mr Velazquez said. "That's all I can say about the incident."

The incident report, as seen by the Herald Sun, details Carey's arrest, his alleged assault on Neilson and the alleged attack on two police officers.

Miami police officer Daniel Rodriguez said in a statement that Carey had yelled obscenities at him and fellow officer Camilo Hernandez before lashing out at the pair.

Officer Rodriguez's statement read that he explained to the AFL legend that police were there because of the incident with his girlfriend.

"At this point he became aggressive, jumped out of bed and became confrontational towards these officers.

"Officer Camilo attempted to grab the defendant at which time he fell back on to the bed and kick (sic) this officer with his right leg on my lower left lip area.

"I attempted to place the defendant into custody and which in the process, the defendant elbowed officer Camilo on the face."

Carey was described by police as violent, loud and angry.

Police have been involved in three confrontations between Carey and Ms Neilson. In 2006, she alleged he assaulted her at their Port Melbourne apartment.

On Sunday night, Carey allegedly called police asking for two women to be removed, but lashed out when officers arrived.

The North Melbourne premiership captain is now the subject of a criminal investigation and could be charged with assaulting police and resisting arrest.

Radio station 3AW revealed it had already cut ties with Carey, opting for former Collingwood captain Nathan Buckley to provide special comments this season.

Station boss Graham Mott said Carey's one-year contract expired at the end of last season.

It is believed Carey is still under contract to Channel 9.

Last season he appeared on Footy Classified and the Sunday Footy Show.

.......

Carey's 271-game AFL career was blotted by scandal over his affair with the wife of his best friend and North vice-captain Anthony Stevens, which forced Carey's shock exit from the club in 2002.

In 1996 he pleaded guilty to one count of indecent assault after grabbing the breast of a passing woman in King St following a drinking session.
