[TEXTAREA]FORMER Wallaby Scott Higginbotham allegedly illegally entered a Fortitude Valley Police Beat and assaulted an officer after one of his friends was arrested for urinating in public Sunday morning.

The Australian Rugby Union confirmed that its integrity unit had launched an investigation into the incident at the Brunswick St Police Beat about 1.30am on Sunday.

Police said a 30-year-old man had been charged following an incident in Fortitude Valley and was due to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on February 21.[/TEXTAREA]

[TEXTAREA]Stiles revealed he had spoken to a chastened Higginbotham numerous times last Sunday, after the police incident.

“In talking to Scott, we agreed it was best he not train with the squad for the next few days until the findings of the investigation by the Australian Rugby Union’s integrity unit,†Stiles said.

“As a coach, I deal in facts and it’s very important to get the facts right before decisions on this so let’s wait and see over the next few days.

“Once they conclude the findings we’ll talk about the subsequent repercussions.â€[/TEXTAREA]
