Does this sort of behaviour run in the family? How can so many alleged criminal incidents involve two siblings claiming to be elite sportspersons?
Here's details of the brother's criminal background:-
"In February 2007, Kerr was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct after an altercation with a taxi driver". Sound familiar na???
"He (Kerr) was later arrested again while at a training session, and further charged with assault occasioning bodily harm and willful damage. Police prosecutor Gary Flynn told the court Kerr saw the taxi and jumped screaming and shouting onto the boot. The taxi driver got out of his car and was attacked by Kerr, Sgt Flynn said. Kerr's lawyer John Prior said his client had gone out to dinner, "consumed too much alcohol" and "made a crucial bad judgement call". Kerr pleaded guilty to the charges and was fined.[33]"
"In March 2007, information was released that implicated Kerr and former Eagle Aaron Edwards in drug dealing over the phone. His conversations with convicted drug dealer Shane Waters relating to a "big bag of horse chaff" were recorded by police phone taps in 2003.[28][34]In September 2007, Kerr was alleged to have abused staff at a Melbourne hotel on the day of the AFLPA awards. His club were informed of the incident, and when they came to check on Kerr at 2pm, he was still in bed. They observed he was hungover and blamed the incident on alcohol rather than drugs.[30]The West Coast Eagles forced Kerr to start seeing a clinical psychologist at the beginning of 2008, in an attempt to combat his anger management issues and alcoholism.[30]
"In April 2010, Kerr was ordered by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal to pay $13,125 to teenager Troy Luies, after Luies filed a claim for the injuries he suffered at the Kerr's hands on 14 January 2007. Assessor William Millar awarded Luies compensation for the assault by Kerr, as payment for his hospital bills, lost pay and for trauma suffered.[35]In November 2014, Kerr was arrested and charged with endangering the lives of two people after he allegedly started a small fire at a house in Glendalough. He spent five nights at Hakea Prison before being released on bail when his parents paid the $5000 surety.[36]Kerr was charged with aggravated stalking and breaching a violence restraining order on 19 August 2020. On 16 September 2020 he was charged with historical domestic violence charges. On 17 February 2021 Kerr was charged with criminal damage by fire after a fire damaged the rear of his Kardinya house. He denied responsibility for the fire, but as he was already on bail for the previous charges, his bail was revoked.[37] In May 2023, Kerr was sentenced to two years’ jail for the fire, backdated to his arrest in 2021.[38]"
