Steve Johnson: In trouble...again
Cats disappointed in Johnson: BalmeThe Geelong Football Club advises that forward Steve Johnson was arrested on 24 December in Wangaratta for being drunk in a public place.
Johnson was on leave from the club over the Christmas break when the alleged incident occurred and only advised the club of the situation today.
“We are bitterly disappointed that this situation has occurred and that there has been a delay in telling us about it,” Geelong general manager of football operations Neil Balme said.
“We expect that all of our players behave well and we are particularly disappointed in Steve as he has been rehabilitating his knee following post-season surgery.
“A number of key decision makers will not return to the club until next week, and as such no punishment will be determined until then. We expect to be in a position to announce any sanction on Tuesday 9 January. Until such time the club will not speculate as to any potential penalty.”
Pathetic from Johnson, not only is he in trouble with the law again, but he delayed telling the club about it for days upon days. His career is going down the toilet and he only has himself to blame.
