The former Melbourne Storm and Canberra Raiders centre allegedly drove while over the legal limit when he crashed his ute into a number of trees on Kennedy Crescent, Bonnet Bay on June 15, 2024. <\/p>\n
Police allege the 28-year-old then left the scene and he was later arrested at his home nearby and taken to Sutherland Hospital.<\/p>\n
Some six months later, in December, Mr Scott was issued a number of Court Attendance Notices.<\/p>\n
He did not appear before the Sutherland Local Court on Thursday where his matter was briefly mentioned. <\/p>\n
Solicitor Robert Candelori acting on his behalf entered not guilty pleas to the charges.<\/p>\n
The now boxer has been charged with drive vehicle under influence of alcohol, drive with middle range PCA, and negligent driving (no death or grievous bodily harm).<\/p>\n
Police said in a statement they will allege Mr Scott drove with a mid-range PCA which is anywhere between 0.08 and 0.15. The legal limit is 0.05.<\/p>\n
