England rugby star Billy Vunipola tasered by cops after alleged bar incident in Majorca

England rugby star Billy Vunipola found himself in a dramatic altercation with police in a Majorcan late-night bar, resulting in his arrest and tasering by cops. The Saracens player, known for his powerful performances on the field, was reportedly involved in a heated incident at the Epic bar in Palma, where he allegedly threw chairs at bar staff and engaged in threatening behavior.

Witnesses described a surreal scene where Vunipola appeared unfazed by the first taser shot from police, laughing it off like a scene from a movie. However, he was eventually subdued after being tasered a second time and taken into custody. The 31-year-old rugby star denied the allegations of violence and threats, claiming he did not engage in any physical altercations.

Despite Vunipola’s denial, court officials in Majorca stated that he pleaded guilty to “resisting the law” and a “minor crime of wounding” at a speedy trial. The incident reportedly escalated when Vunipola confronted police officers and attempted to assault them, leading to his arrest and subsequent fine of 240 euros.

Vunipola, who had been on a self-imposed teetotal phase to focus on his rugby career, admitted to an “unfortunate misunderstanding” that got out of hand. The Saracens No.8 expressed his cooperation with the internal investigation and apologized for any inconvenience caused.

The incident at the Epic bar in Palma has raised eyebrows and sparked discussions about Vunipola’s behavior off the field. Despite his impressive rugby career and contributions to the sport, this incident serves as a reminder of the challenges athletes face in maintaining a balance between their personal lives and professional responsibilities. As Vunipola navigates the aftermath of this incident, the rugby world watches closely to see how he handles the repercussions of his actions.
