Exeter hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie was thrown into a ‘drunk tank’ in France early last Wednesday morning following a boozy night out.
Cowan-Dickie was in Montpellier for medical check-ups ahead of his summer shift to the Top 14 outfit which could be in jeopardy because of a neck condition. The 29-year-old was not arrested and Rob Baxter, his boss at Chiefs, said the 4.30am incident outside a nightclub had not made Montpellier pull the plug on the move .
Fabrice Belargent, the state prosecutor in Montpellier, said: “I confirm that the person in question was the subject of a procedure for manifest and public drunkenness after being stopped in front of a nightclub by Montpellier municipal police at 4.30am on April 19. He was placed in the cellule de dégrisement (sobering up cell).”
