TROUBLED football star Liam Jurrah has been charged with drink-driving after the P-plater blew a staggering 0.27 when he arrived at a house where police were in attendance on Monday.
The former Melbourne star, who faces aggravated assault charges that will be decided in the Northern Territory in March, reportedly arrived at a Para Hills address where police were dealing with another matter.
Officers from Golden Grove police reported Jurrah, 24, after they'd stopped him in his Holden Commodore about 8.20pm on Monday.
Jurrah, who is living in Elizabeth, was detained after he appeared affected by alcohol.
He was then breath-tested and returning a reading of .269 - more than five times the legal limit of .05.
He was reported for driving under the influence of alcohol, exceeding the prescribed level of alcohol and breaching a probationary licence.
His driver's licence has been disqualified for 12 months and he will be summonsed to appear in the Holden Hill Magistrates Court at a date still to be decided.
Port Adelaide Football Club general manager (SANFL) Brian Leys last night said Jurrah had not trained with the club since being made an offer to join its ranks after Port Power failed to take him.
Mr Leys said he had only heard reports of the drink- driving charge through the media.
He added: "The offer is still open ... we'd love him to come down."
Jurrah's grandmother, Cecily Granites, told The Advertiser last night that the drink-driving matter was an issue for Jurrah and his family to sort out among themselves.
"It's between Liam and his family ... no one else's business," she said.
"We're sorting it out as a family. He's OK."
Jurrah has in recent months been known to frequent Adelaide's south parklands to visit family members.
The footballer has also attended the Hutt Street Centre for homeless people on a number of occasions.
A family member said that Jurrah had often taken food to homeless people during his visits there.
Most of those living in the parklands with whom Jurrah had contact have been moved on after the bashing murder of a 41-year-old homeless man in December.
A man, 29, of no fixed address, has been charged with the murder.
