Overview

  • Melissa Mallet admitted to crashing into parked cars in June and recorded a blood alcohol concentration of 0.156, more than three times the legal limit.
  • She was fined $1000 and lost her driving licence for nine months without a conviction being recorded.
  • Mallet became the third person associated with the Broncos to face drink or drug driving charges in the past ten months.
  • Her lawyer says she immediately entered rehabilitation and has taken responsibility for vehicle repairs and affected car owners.
  • Former premiership player Steve Renouf is scheduled to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on July 16 over an alleged high-range drink-driving incident.
