Father of NRL stars Nat and Egan Butcher relives the moment he flattened an armed man who was on the run after escaping jail
The fearless father of NRL stars Nat and Egan Butcher has recalled the moment he used a shoulder charge in a bid to detain a man on the run from Sydney's Long Bay Jail. Blake Butcher was in Malabar chatting with a relative on August 13, 2023, when he crossed paths with Jason Melbon, who was armed with a knife. Melbon - who only had 18 months left to serve of a nine-year prison sentence at the time - had earlier jumped the Long Bay fence before going on a rampage in Sydney's east. Despite breaking his ankle once fleeing the correctional facility, Melbon, 43, broke into numerous homes starting at Little Bay, stole a car and tied up another terrified mother in her house. He then ran into Butcher on the street, who didn't hesitate to use the move that's now banned in the NRL. 'I knocked him to the ground,' Butcher - a former first grader player himself with the Rabbitohs - told News Corp. '(He) looked straight at me. 'He (then) ran off around the corner and broke into another person's house. 'We followed him in my car... I spotted him taking off in another car. I got the number plate and we called the police. 'He was caught shortly after.' Melbon, 43, is due to appear in court on June 20 after pleading guilty to a number of offences, including attempting to escape from lawful custody at Sydney's Downing Centre Court on May 22. The charges include two counts of aggravated break and enter and committing a serious indictable offence, taking and driving a conveyance without the owner's consent and two counts of taking and detaining a person with intent to obtain advantage. Melbon was due for parole on December 11 last year - but is now facing a longer stint behind bars. Nat Butcher make his NRL debut with the Roosters in 2016, and won a premiership three years later. Younger brother Egan has been on the books of the Tricolours since 2021.

Company boss, 72, 'throttled his neighbour and damaged his Jaguar in 'very messy' dispute over shared driveway of his £540,000 home', court hears
A company boss throttled his neighbour and damaged his expensive Jaguar car during an altercation over a 'very messy' long-running shared driveway dispute, a court has heard. Trevor Hollisey, 72, who owns a kitchen fitting business with his wife Jennifer, 79, is accused of grabbing Neil Ford by the throat 'for ten to 15 seconds' and assaulting his wife, Michelle. He is also charged with causing more than £1,300 of damage to a Jaguar F-PACE belonging to his next-door neighbours. Mrs Hollisey, is accused of assaulting Mr Ford and his 20-year-old daughter, Sophie, as well as causing £3.99 damage to Sophie's phone screen protector. The Holliseys bought their detached home, Highfield House, in the Norfolk village of Bressingham for £540,000 in March 2021, while the Fords moved into their £672,000 home, Copper Dene, six months later. Prosecutor Katherine Newson said the couples had subsequently fallen out in a 'dispute over access to their driveway'. She told magistrates in Norwich that the disagreement centred around the alleged victims opening the gate onto the defendants' section of the driveway. Previously, there had been complaints to the police about the 'paving being smashed'. Matters allegedly came to a head on December 30 last year when Hollisey grabbed Mr Ford by the throat 'for ten to 15 seconds' and assaulted his wife. He is also accused of deliberately damaging the luxury Jaguar, causing £1,363 of damage. Hollisey denies the criminal damage charge and a count of assault by beating against Mrs Ford. No plea was entered for the charge of intentional strangulation during the hearing on Friday. His wife denied two assault by beating charges involving Mr Ford and his daughter and the Crown Prosecution Service withdrew a count of common assault against the pair. She also pleaded not guilty to damaging the screen protector on Sophie's phone. Declan Gallagher, defending the Holliseys, said the 'confrontation' was the result of a 'long-term dispute' and that 'there is a very messy history to this'. When magistrates starting looking for dates to hold a trial, Mr Hollisey interjected and said he and his wife 'have several holidays booked this year and next'. The Bench eventually decided that the case would be heard at Ipswich Magistrates Court on March 10 and 11 next year. The Holliseys were released on conditional bail and told they must have no contact with their neighbours. Mr Hollisey set up Ultimate Choice Bathrooms and Kitchens in Stanford-le-Hope, Essex, in 1987, where there is still a showroom. The company's website says he now works alongside his son Lee. It adds: 'The driving force behind our success for the last 36 years is Trevor's and Lee's high standards and demand for excellent workmanship on every installation.'
