More court for Cousins

-

FALLEN former AFL star Ben Cousins has again faced court from jail over a drug-related charge.

Cousins was sentenced to one year behind bars in March for stalking and repeatedly breaching a restrainin­g order taken out by his ex-partner and mother of his children.

He would have been eligible for parole after serving six months but failed a drug test while in custody so cannot be released until he completes rehabilita­tion courses.

The 39-year-old faced Midland Magistrate­s’ Court via video link from Acacia Prison yesterday, accused of driving under the influence of drugs in November last year, and had the matter adjourned until next week.
