The man - who listed his occupation on court documents as “athlete” - is facing two charges in the Christchurch District Court. Court documents state that on Wednesday November 15 - the day after Cup Day in Christchurch - the man allegedly took a car worth $10,000 from another person. The charge states he took the car “dishonestly and without claim” but not in circumstances amounting to theft. For the first charge, the man is facing a maximum penalty of seven years in prison. The second charge carries a maximum penalty of three months in prison or a $2000 fine.
