St. George Illawarra star Junior Amone has been indicted on felony charges after allegedly attacking a shopkeeper with a hammer, leaving him with serious injuries.
The Dragons midfielder, whose full name is Talatau Junior Amone, was arrested on Thursday and taken to Wollongong Police Station, where he was charged with recklessly causing grievous bodily harm (in company), destroying or damaging property and intimidate.
He did not apply for bail, which was formally denied.
Junior Amone (pictured) was arrested Thursday and denied bail. His father, Talatau Dal Amone, was charged in the same incident last month.
Amone was formally denied bail after being charged with causing grievous bodily harm (in company), destroying or damaging property, and intimidation.
The attack is alleged to have occurred on November 15 this year near the star’s home in Wollongong, on the south coast of New South Wales.
Amone’s father, Talatau Dal Amone, was charged in the same incident last month.
Court documents allege the dealer got into a dispute with Amone’s father over where he parked his car before Amones and an unidentified man confronted him.
It is alleged that Junior was armed with a hammer, which he threw at the victim.
The dealer allegedly ran to a nearby property and climbed onto the roof to escape, but was followed by Junior Amone, who threw a hammer at him.
The victim is alleged to have fallen from the ceiling and struck an air conditioning unit as he fell.
Then Junior Amone is alleged to have yelled, ‘Get it.’
The documents allege that a police dog squad officer arrived and saw Junior Amone on the roof, still armed with the hammer.
The alleged victim was followed to another house, according to the documents, where she collapsed and called Triple Cero.
It is also alleged that the young Amone and the unknown man jumped onto the roof of the dealer’s vehicle, damaging the car and breaking the windshield.
The Dragons issued a statement saying the Junior Amone matter has been referred to the NRL Integrity Unit.
