Cowboys and Origin player James Tamou has been arrested for drink driving after allegedly being caught almost four times over the legal limit.
The North Queensland Cowboys prop was pulled over in a Townsville suburb around 3.30am on Monday.
Police have confirmed a 24-year-old Kirwan man was charged after allegedly recording an alcohol concentration of 0.197.
He's been charged with unlicensed driving and driving under the influence of alcohol and will appear in Townsville Magistrates Court on July 2.
Tamou last week played in NSW's winning State of Origin side, which beat Queensland 14-6.
