Shannon Noll is set to appear before the courts next month after being charged with drug possession last week.
As The Sydney Morning Herald reports, officers from the Sutherland Shire were conducting a search at the Caringbah Hotel on Thursday night when they allegedly found a bag of “white powder” on Shannon Noll.
“About 8.15pm yesterday (Thursday 13 September 2018), officers from the Sutherland Shire Police Area Command, along with Public Transport & Public Safety Command and the Dog Unit, were conducting a drug operation at a licensed premises on Port Hacking Road at Caringbah,” explained a spokesperson for NSW Police on Friday.
“A 42-year-old man was arrested by police after allegedly being detected with white powder, believed to be cocaine.”
At this stage, Shannon Noll is set to appear at the Sutherland Local Court on October 11th, where he’ll face charges of drug possession.
Of course, this isn’t the first time that Shannon Noll has made headlines for a bit of rowdy behaviour.
Most notably, the Australian Idol runner-up had charges of assault dropped last year after he hit a member of security while trying to gain entrance to the Crazy Horse, a strip club in Adelaide, in January.
More recently, the singer ended up receiving widespread criticism for an onstage rant In July that was deemed foul-mouthed and misogynistic by many of his critics.
The incident in question occurred at the Duck Creek Races in New South Wales in July, and was spurned by a member of the crowd throwing a can at Noll’s head while performing on stage.
Soon, the singer appealed for the audience member to come up onstage, calling them “that fucker in a tie”, and “a fucking maggot”.
“Hey, who thinks he should come up,” Noll asked the crowd at the time. “Shame that prick, shame that motherfucker right there. Fucking private school stupid fuckhead motherfucker. Have some balls and get up here and I’ll punch your fucking teeth down your throat.”
“Then I’ll fuck your missus and your mum.”
“Let everybody else, apart from that fuckstick, sing along to a great song, okay, here we go. I’ll give someone $100 bucks to punch that fuck for me,” Noll concluded. “Enough with the haters, fuck the haters. There’s too many good looking girls here.”
Shannon Noll later hit back at his critics in another onstage rant just last month.
