Former AFL star Ben Cousins is back in police custody.
While police could not confirm the star's identity, they did say a 36-year-old man was arrested today following reports of a car driving erratically in the Canning Vale area of Perth.
This is the third police incident Cousins has been involved in over recent weeks.
He was detained on March 15 for breaching security at a Special Air Service base in Swanbourne, just three days after he led police on a low-speed chase.
Cousins fell from grace following a string of off-field incidents and substance abuse problems.
The father-of-two was suspended for one year by the AFL in 2007 for bringing the game into disrepute before making a comeback with Richmond.
He retired in 2010.
