The main arresting police officer in the Latrell Mitchell and Jack Wighton incident concedes key details he provided of the incident did not occur.
The most senior police official involved in the arrest of Latrell Mitchell and Jack Wighton has been accused of concocting a “total and utter fantasy” after admitting his memory failed him during a courtroom grilling over the incident.
Police alleged Wighton and Mitchell, who will become teammates at South Sydney next year, fought each other outside the venue. However, Power claimed he had a “long-term memory issue” after his version of events was challenged by Wighton’s lawyer, Steve Boland. The bombshell revelation came after Boland used CCTV footage to put together a timeline of events that contradicted Power’s version. Boland labelled Power’s testimony as “a total and utter fantasy you dreamt up to justify everything that happens”.
