NRL player Payne Haas has avoided a criminal conviction at Tweed
Heads Local Court despite pleading guilty to intimidation of a
police officer.
In the course of a verbal tirade directed at police, Haas told a
female officer, "Why you looking at me like that? Cause
you're a woman and you think that I won't touch
ya?"
However, it has been revealed that the rugby league star was
dealing with a raft of difficulties at the time of the incident,
including the death of his brother.
