EX-Scotland rugby captain Stuart Hogg was arrested at his estranged wife's house after his former teammates recorded a famous win over England.
Hogg, 31, was detained over allegations he caused fear and alarm by acting in a threatening or abusive manner at his former family home in Hawick on Sunday afternoon at around 5pm.
The night before, the former full-back had been pictured partying with celebrities in the hospitality zone at Murrayfield following Scotland's victory over England in the Six Nations.
According to the Daily Record, Hogg - who is Scotland's record men's try scorer - was taken to the town's police station after officers were called to attend the address and was later released.
A report was submitted to prosecutors ahead of an expected court appearance at a later date.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Around 4.40pm on Sunday, February 25, police were called to an address in Hawick.
"A 31-year-old man was arrested and charged. He was released on an undertaking to appear at Jedburgh Sheriff Court at a later date.
"A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
