Nearly as good as the Freddie Flintoff and the pedalo incident.
![]() ![]() ![]() Rugby star's golf buggy arrest Wales rugby star Andy Powell has been arrested for allegedly taking and driving away a golf buggy, hours after his team's dramatic win over Scotland. The Cardiff Blues player was arrested with another man at 0600 GMT on Sunday at services off junction 33 of the M4 in the Vale of Glamorgan. One of the two arrested men failed a breath test, South Wales Police said. But the BBC does not know which of the men this was. No charges have yet been brought. A police spokesman confirmed two men from Brecon were arrested and that investigations are ongoing. He said: "South Wales Police can confirm that two 28-year-old males from the Brecon area were arrested on suspicion of taking and driving away a golf buggy. "One of those males subsequently failed a breath test." Powell played in the 31-24 victory in the Six Nations championship. It is understood the golf buggy was taken from the Vale Hotel, Golf and Spa Resort in the Vale of Glamorgan where the Wales team stayed before and after the Scotland game at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday. However, a spokesman for the hotel said they could not comment as a police investigation was ongoing. The Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) has been asked to comment. Brecon-born rugby flanker Powell, 28, has won 14 caps for Wales and toured with the British Lions squad to South Africa. The forward plays regional rugby for Cardiff Blues, after joining from the Llanelli Scarlets in 2005. He has also played for Beziers, Leicester and Newport. Cardiff Blues said it was a matter for the Wales team. Story from BBC NEWS: |
