“Hosking has been charged for driving a jet-ski while under the influence of alcohol,” the club said in a statement.
“The AFL has been informed of the incident and as this matter is currently under investigation by Queensland Police we are unable to make any further comment.”
Hosking is in Queensland with fellow Tigers players, including sister Sarah, Grace Egan and Eilish Sheerin.
Hosking was recently in the headlines when she apologised for an offensive message written on her shoulder tape during Richmond’s semi-final against North Melbourne.
The AFL issued a “please explain” to Hosking for the message on her strapping, but didn’t hand out any punishment for the incident after her apology.
The AFL said “Hosking was extremely remorseful and deeply disappointed in her actions. The AFL has since accepted a letter of apology from Jess and has issued an official warning to the club and Jess regarding the offensive language.”
