Details of the criminal charges against All Black winger Sevu Reece have emerged - ending today in a discharge without conviction.
The 27-year-old initially pleaded not guilty to taking a car 'dishonestly and without claim' and intentionally damaging a property.
But he's admitted a reduced charge of wilful damage - and lost name suppression today.
Herald crime reporter Anna Leask says it took place after a post-Christchurch Cup Day party last year.
"He was getting a bit disruptive and he was asked to leave - and then next minute, he was sort of behind the wheel of a car and he drove it into a garage. And then he sort of took off on foot."
