NEW St Kilda recruit Andrew Lovett is in hot water after being charged by police with being drunk in a public place on the weekend.
The former Essendon wingman, who was on annual leave, was celebrating his 27th birthday with friends at a private residence in St Kilda when he was arrested early Saturday morning.
The Saints said in a statement that they were 'extremely disappointed' that Lovett had put himself in such a position.
"The club is fully investigating what has taken place and will take appropriate action if and when required," the statement said.
"The matter has now been dealt with by Victoria Police and at this present time no further comment will be made by the club."
Lovett has a history of off-field misdemeanours. In 2007 he was charged with assaulting his ex-girlfriend and had an intervention order put against him.
Then in 2008 he was twice suspended by the Bombers for failing to attend training sessions and in June of this year he faced court after being charged with driving while unlicensed.
The Dons traded Lovett to St Kilda in return for pick 16 in the national draft.
