I've just received a text from a lady who says she was a passenger in the car . She says that KL was sat next to her on the back seat & was sober.

To add to that, it would be be routine for the police to breathalyse anyone who they suspected might be the driver if there is a collision and people are there at the scene for some time after. For instance, if a period of time passes before anyone gets to the car, as of course people have the chance to swap positions. Being breathalysed and being taken away is no indication that the person was driving or is going to be charged. They will commonly take people away to conduct other tests. Fundamentally, the police still have to prove who the driver was (although there is a legal authority - Smith-v-Mellors - that states that if it can be proven that two or more people were in a car but it cannot be shown who was the driver, except that one of them definitely was, you can charge both or all with drink driving, provided both are over the limit, justified on the basis that the passenger was encouraging the driver).

The police routinely breathalyse people involved in an accident.

One piece of legal advice: if you are ever asked to blow into a breathalyser, do it! I've been involved in so many cases where people have been prosecuted for not blowing where if they had blown and failed, it could not have been shown they were the driver. End up with ten points, which for many meant a ban. You can also get longer bans for not blowing.

Locke's missus has said on Twitter that he was a backseat passenger, sober and not arrested.

Walking bare foot through glass? Why would he be driving bare foot first of all, never mind walking through glass barefoot John McClain style.
Still clutching a bottle of wine when pulled over? Even if he was relatively smashed, why would he be driving with a bottle of wine on his lap and continue to hold if even after being pulled over or smashed into a wall?
2 separate cars coincidentally pulled at the same time for the same thing? That sure is unlucky.

Sounds like ballacks to me.

Time will tell on this one. At the moment it is all rumour and the police have an interest. If the initial allegations are true then it is an offence which I'm sure the police will seek to prosecute with.

If they are found innocent then we will move on. Since the rumours are contested we will probably not find out the true events (although we might never find out the true events) until after the season is over.

Unconfirmed but I've heard that Miller lives in Swanland, which is not too far from Brough. Of course it is only conjecture that they might have been visiting him.

"I wasn't drink driving or arrested. I did a statement and went home" - Locke on Facebook

Club statement confirms an incident took place in Hull yesterday and the club are co-operating with the Police and the RFL.

I saw that. Good for him. Hope he is ok.
Shows how rumours turn in to incorrect facts very quickly.

Don't know about that,most on here think rumours are written in stone

or is that when it suits

It does indeed. Its just been such a depressing bloody season that any bad news is likely to be true.



for me

There's rumours and there's rumours!

Damaging rumours like this one about Locke are out of order and need squashing asap.

Rumours about possible signings are the grease on the wheels that keep sports fans interested especially during quiet times, they're akin to fantasy team manager games and allow fans to speculate and fantasise about how good it would be if . .

Jumping on every rumour about players signing, leaving etc isn't needed.
