Wayne Carey and his women
THESE are the women at the centre of the latest Wayne Carey controversy. His girlfriend Kate Neilson (right) and Sabella Sugar are believed to have been at the former AFL star's home when he called police to say he wanted two females removed. When cops arrived at the Port Melbourne apartment, however, 36-year-old Carey ended up in a confrontation with them, leading to his arrest. It is the second incident involving Carey and Ms Neilson that has led to police involvement. In 2006, she alleged he assaulted her but later denied making a complaint. On Sunday night, police tried to enter their Rouse St apartment to check on the welfare of others at the property after Carey called to say he wanted two women removed. It was at that point Carey lashed out at the officers, who sprayed him with capsicum.
Austin Park Police have some officers with problematic pasts
City officials have said they will negotiate with the Austin Police Association this year to determine what criteria park officers must meet before becoming Austin police officers. Some Park Police officers could lose their jobs. "We are going to do some hard looking, and there is a lot of explaining they are going to have to do," said association President George Vanderhule,who will be negotiating for the union. "We want to make sure we get people who will meet our standards." Two years ago, city officials combined city marshals and airport and park officers to create the Public Safety and Emergency Management agency and appointed new leadership to supervise it. Since then, Mills and other officials said they have developed a selection process similar to the Austin Police Department's.
