Ex-AFL star denied bail

TROUBLED AFL premiership player Ben Cousins will remain behind bars for at least two weeks and could face a prison sentence if convicted of new stalking and drug charges.

The former West Coast Eagles captain appeared dishevelled and with a full beard in Armadale Magistrates Court yesterday, charged with 11 offences.

The 38-year-old faces seven counts of breaching a violence restraining order, aggravated stalking, driving without a licence, and possessing a prohibited drug and smoking utensil.
