Former Australia batter Michael Slater has landed in hot waters after reportedly breaking one of the bail conditions. The police officers came across the breach during a welfare check at his Manly home last week.
According to a Daily Telegraph report, the police were called to Slater’s home with concerns over his health. When the officials conducted a check on July 14, the former Aussie cricketer was found to be breaching his drug and alcohol restriction.
The report further stated that Slater was rushed to Northern Beaches Hospital via an ambulance where he remained till Monday. After getting discharged, he was taken to the Manly police station and charged with breaching his bail.
It was further learned that Slater appeared before the Manly court on Monday afternoon and was offered a strict conditional bail by the magistrate. The condition of the bail stated that the former cricketer must stay away from alcohol and drugs and must maintain good behaviour. He is also banned from contacting the complainants who have apprehended violence orders against him. Slater will return to court and fight the charges in January 2023.
