<p><strong>Raiders star Josh Papalii is being investigated by police after an alleged late-night incident at a Canberra leagues club following the team's end-of-season presentation.</strong></p>
<p>Charges are yet to be laid on the 32-year-old but inquiries are ongoing, ACT police said in a statement.</p>
<p>"About 3.10am on Monday, 16 September 2024, police responded to a request from a licensed premises regarding two men who were behaving aggressively, smashing glasses, and refusing to leave," ACT Police said.</p>
<p>"After engagement with police, the men left, however a short time later, re-entered the premises.</p>
<p>"A third member of the group escorted the two men out of the premises again, and they departed the location a short time later."</p>
<p>Police are also investigating the other man Papalii was with, but they were unable to reveal his identity.</p>
<p>The Raiders stalwart earlier this season brought up 300 games for the ACT club, and just hours before the alleged incident was named club person of the year in a ceremony at Parliament House's Great Hall.</p>
<p>The incident isn't Papalii's first run-in with the law.</p>
<p>The former Queensland State of Origin prop was handed a one-match NRL ban in 2017 after pleading guilty to a drink-driving charge.</p>
