FOX Footy presenter steps down after drink driving charge

FOX Footy presenter David King has stepped down from his role on The Trade Lowdown after being charged with drink driving.

“After having some end of season drinks, I made a terrible decision to drive and was involved in a minor incident with another vehicle,” King said.

“I was subsequently charged with driving under the influence recording an alcohol reading of 0.10.

“I deeply regret my poor choice to get behind the wheel and am embarrassed and ashamed of my actions, I am thankful no one was injured.

“I’ve not only let myself down but more importantly my family, friends, workplace and the public who I put at risk.

“I accept full responsibility and any repercussions which result from this.”

In a statement FOX Footy said, “We are aware David King was recently charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. FOX Footy does not condone this behaviour and takes the matter very seriously. We know David deeply regrets his actions.

“The matter now sits with the judicial system.”
