Former Scotland rugby captain Stuart Hogg has been charged by police in connection with an incident in the Scottish Borders.

The 31-year-old was arrested at a property in his hometown of Hawick at about 4.40pm on Sunday.

He was arrested and charged and was released on an undertaking to appear at Jedburgh Sheriff Court at a later date.

Hogg retired from rugby last year prior to the start of the Rugby World Cup, announcing his desire for a new career following his time in the sport.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 4.40pm on Sunday February 25, police were called to an address in Hawick.

“A 31-year-old man was arrested and charged. He was released on an undertaking to appear at Jedburgh Sheriff Court at a later date.

“A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”
