Expand This footage of Mike Tindall with the mystery blonde was leaked by Jonathan Dixon who has since been dismissed from his security job. Photo / SuppliedA nightclub bouncer who launched a royal storm of headlines around English captain Mike Tindall and his new wife Zara Phillips was charged by police last night for his role in releasing camera footage of the player cavorting with a blonde woman.


Dixon who sold the footage to Splash News Agency a Celebrity gossip tattle merchant sheds questionable behavior from  newly married Tindall. Dixon who has also been sacked from his bouncer has voluntarily appeared at a Queenstown Police Station and left 45 minutes later. A Police spokesperson was reported to say "We can confirm that a man was spoken to in relation to a complaint about security footage made by the manager of a local bar. He came to the police station on a voluntary basis," .
 
There is a humorous refference to an NZ Herald article in which they interviewed his mother and she defends her sons morals and view points on infidelity. They have quoted her speaking about the Lions captain and his wife with "You expect them to have a little bit more respect for themselves, don't you? I think it's sad for her being on the other side of the world, men are men and they're pretty fickle, aren't they?"
 
Rugby and beer always go together hand in hand, an ale with a frothy head after a game of rugga will always be a right of passage for rugby players. Its a pity they let them selves down frequently whilst under the influence. The courts have had numerous assaults and also indescriminate behavior of rugby players behind their wives girlfriends or WAGS backs.
 
Spartar Security who managed the security at Altitude Bar the Queenstown Gin Joint where the CCTV footage was recorded has also lost its contract with Altitude Bar.

Also reported through various news websites or feeds a high ranking Rebel gang member in Northland was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm

The operation is the second crackdown on the gang. The first operation was in February and resulted in more than 30 arrests across five North Island districts. A police spokeswoman said they knew of about 70 patched members throughout the country.

One interesting report that came from TVNZ was”Police also revealed that a live snake was found during an earlier crackdown on the outlaw bikie gang in February. Police said a snake was located at an address in Feilding, and detectives believe the Rebels smuggled it into New Zealand.”TVNZ This highlights the international link with this gang a vast majority of New Zealand based gangs don’t have this element or connection. OFCANZ and police have also through the media have given a message to recruits or prospective members they pledge their zero tolerance and future undivided attention. After this latest series of busts they appear to be determined to do their best to stamp the Rebels out.
