Kangaroos and Canberra front rower Dave Shillington has been arrested for drink-driving after returning a test more than twice the legal limit.
Shillington was arrested at about 6.30pm on Friday, December 11, in the inner-north Canberra suburb of O'Connor.
He recorded a blood-alcohol level of 0.115, more than twice the legal limit of 0.05, when breath-tested during Operation Unite, a national police blitz.
The 26-year-old made his Australian and Queensland debuts this year, after joining the Raiders from the Sydney Roosters.
He toured Europe as part of the Kangaroos squad in October and November.
Raiders chief executive Don Furner has only just become aware of the charge and says he will speak to Shillington in the coming days.
He says the matter will be reviewed after Christmas.
