Amone was arrested on Thursday morning and charged with reckless grievous bodily harm in company, damaging property and intimidation in Wollongong Local Court when the matter from a November 15 incident was mentioned.
The Illawarra Mercury is reporting court documents allege Amone was involved in an incident that saw a tradesman attacked with a hammer by the Dragons five-eighth in Warrawong.
St George Illawarra have confirmed the 20-year-old’s charges in a statement.
“Dragons player Talatau Amone has been charged in relation to an alleged incident earlier this year,” the club said. “The club has notified the NRL integrity unit. As this is a legal matter the club will be making no further comment.”
