AFL player Dylan Moore has revealed he and Hawthorn teammate Connor Macdonald spent a night in jail in the U.S. last November.
Moore told 7 News the pair were arrested for alleged trespassing in the state of Arizona during the AFL pre-season break.
Here’s what to know.
What happened
Moore and Macdonald were detained by police after climbing onto a scissor lift while out drinking.
The pair were arrested for alleged trespassing and spent the night in custody.
A separate charge relating to drug paraphernalia was later dismissed, though both players still have pending court dates in the U.S. later this year.

Moore described the incident as a serious lapse in judgement.
“It’s something that I’ll always regret,” he told 7 News.
“I was in the U.S, I was out having a few drinks and made a foolish mistake. I decided to get on a scissor-lift and next thing I know, the cops are there telling me to get off”.
Hawthorn fined Moore and Macdonald, required them to complete alcohol counselling and community service, and Moore lost his role as vice-captain.
Both players are eligible to play this weekend.
