No further action to be taken against All Blacks winger
Doug Howlett will not be charged following his drinking rampage in London which he damaged two cars earlier this month.
It has been confirmed that police will not take futher action against the record-breaking All Blacks winger after he admitted to damaging two vehicles following a night of drinking at a hotel bar in the capital.
Howlett was arrested when he was seen jumping on two cars parked at the Hilton Hotel at Heathrow Airport.
He released a video apologising to his fans which is posted on his website.
Tomfoolery
A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said police confirmed to the New Zealand Press Association that no further action would be taken in the case. She declined to comment further.
Howlett's lawyer David Jones had previously said he was optimistic the winger would not be prosecuted over the incident Howlett described as "tomfoolery".
"If they look at it sensibly it was boys out drinking being silly, doing things they normally wouldn't do," Mr Jones said.
Howlett, who was dropped for the World Cup quarter-final defeat against France, is due to join Irish club Munster at the start of next year.
