Kate Ritchie's Heartbreak - Husband Arrested

Stuart Webb Is Facing Court And Possible Jail Time

Kate Ritchie’s husband, Stuart Webb is once again facing court on drink-driving charges.

Seven years after being disqualified from driving for a similar offence, the former NRL player will attend a local Sydney court on April 16.

A NSW police statement confirmed that on March 26, a 38-year-old man – the car’s driver and only occupant – was stopped on a Sydney eastern suburb’s street by highway patrol after allegedly failing to stop at a red light.

Stuart was arrested after returning a positive roadside breath test and taken to Waverley Police Station where a breath analysis allegedly measured 0.083 and his licence was suspended.

The maximum penalty for mid-range drink driving is a $2200 fine, plus a possible nine-month imprisonment with an automatic six-month disqualification from driving, which could be reduced to three if an interlock order is imposed – an interlock device is a breathalyser fitted to an individual’s car.

Stuart was disqualified from driving for nine months in 2012 after being breath-tested by police in southern Sydney. He admitted drinking five schooners and an unknown quantity of vodka and cranberry at the Bondi surf club beforehand.
