When cricketers go bad
Witness the tragicomedy of errors as Western Australian cricketer Luke Pomersbach goes off his nut:
It is alleged that just after 9:30pm, a Toyota Prado driven by the 24-year-old former Australia batsman crashed into the back of a car in the Perth suburb of City Beach. It is then alleged Pomersbach failed to remain at the scene before driving away.
About 15 minutes later, his Toyota then collided with a loaded skip bin. The force of the crash shunting a bin approximately four metres into the pergola of an adjoining house.
Police claim Pomersbach again fled the scene.
Police attended the crash scene before following an oil trail to his nearby home. Pomersbach was spoken to by police and as he was being placed in the rear of a police sedan, he informed police that he did not want to accompany them and tried to leave.
A struggle developed when police tried to restrain him, during which it is claimed a police officer was pushed backwards into a window of the house, causing it to break. The West Australia star eventually managed to break free and ran away from the scene.
A police dog was the used to track Pomersbach through sand dunes before he was eventually caught and taken into custody.
Pomersbach has been charged with failing to stop, failing to accompany, assault of a public officer and the obstruction of police in an attempt to escape.
Suddenly Andrew Symonds is looking positively saintly!
