Sam Newman charged

Sam Newman has been charged over that alleged road rage incident.

Police served the The Footy Show star with a summons for criminal damage, parking and offensive language charges last Friday. He is due to face court on October 19th.

He is accused of damaging a car in Middle Park in July.

Newman has a long string of headline-making stories both on-air and off air, including a tumultuous 2008 led by his mannequin stunt and comments about a Tasmanian politician.

The final episode of the Footy Show for 2009 goes to air tomorrow night.
