Adelaide forward Tyson Stengle has become the second AFL player allegedly busted for drink driving in less than 24 hours.

According to the Crows, Stengle was allegedly caught drink-driving in an unregistered car, before recording a blood alcohol reading of 0.125 in Adelaide’s south-western suburbs.

It comes less than 24 hours after Western Bulldogs vice-captain Lachie Hunter was allegedly caught drink driving after crashing into four parked cars on Thursday night.

Crows football boss Adam Kelly said Stengle would face club-imposed sanctions to be decided by senior management.

“Tyson is deeply remorseful and embarrassed by his actions, and we have expressed our disappointment in his decision making,” Kelly said.

“Fortunately, no one was hurt and he will receive appropriate education so he learns from this mistake.

“Tyson is a valued member of the Crows family and we will continue to support him through this difficult period.”

Stengle is facing both police and club sanctions for his actions, with both yet to be handed down.

The Western Bulldogs, meantime, are continuing its investigation into Hunter’s action and the involvement of two other players, Bailey Smith and Billy Gowers.

It’s reported Hunter crashed outside a house Smith happened to be visiting, with the latter then driving Hunter to the home of teammate Gowers.

Hunter is expected to be charged on summons with drink driving and other traffic matters.

His license was immediately suspended for 12 months and he was also slapped with a $1652 fine for breaching coronavirus restrictions.

Rookie Jet Dylan Donahue, who was busted after a boozed-up crash in the Lincoln Tunnel last month, also faces a DUI charge in his home state of Montana, according to a report.

The linebacker known as “Wild Man” had a blood-alcohol level of 0.15 percent – almost twice the legal limit – when his Dodge Charger Hellcat collided with a jitney bus on Feb. 26, source said.

The 6-foot-3, 248-pound athlete — who failed sobriety and Breathalyzer tests — boasted about his position as a backup and special-teams player during his arrest.

The 25-year-old also was involved in a car wreck on May 9, 2017, in Billings, just nine days after he was drafted by Gang Green in the fifth round, ESPN reported.

According to an affidavit from the Billings City Attorney’s office, Donahue’s blood-alcohol content was tested at 0.137 percent. The legal limit is 0.08, the sports outlet reported.

Police found Donahue, whose SUV was flipped over, and an unidentified male passenger bleeding about 2:30 a.m., according to the document.

Donahue told cops he smashed into a parked, unoccupied pickup truck after looking down to check his phone and failing to brake in time.

He admitted having “several alcoholic drinks earlier in the evening” after an officer detected the smell of alcohol, ESPN reported, citing the affidavit.

He was charged with felony criminal endangerment, but it was declined by the county attorney’s office and amended at the city attorney’s office as a misdemeanor DUI charge.

“This is a pending legal matter, and we will have no further comment,” said a Jets spokesman, who declined to tell ESPN whether the team knew of the arrest.

Donahue is subject to NFL disciplinary measures under the league’s substance-abuse policy.

For his Lincoln Tunnel arrest, Donahue is due back in court on April 11 in Weehawken, where he faces DWI and reckless driving charges, according to NJ Advance Media.

In that case, he drove into the wrong tube and crashed into a 15-passenger bus. Four of the passengers were sent to a hospital with minor injuries, according to authorities.

Suleiman Mahmood, 21, who was in the passenger seat in Donahue’s car, was charged with disorderly conduct.

Donahue suffered a season-ending elbow injury in the Jets’ 23-20 win over the Jaguars last fall. He played in four games last season.
