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.
