Penrith's Tyrone Phillips is being investigated by the NRL integrity unit after allegedly being caught driving two times over the alcohol limit.
The Panthers' reserve grade outside back will appear in Penrith Local Court on April 16 after being arrested and charged in the early hours of Sunday.
Police will allege Phillips returned a breath alcohol content reading of .103 after being stopped by police in Cranebrook in Sydney's west at 3.15am.
He has been charged with mid-range drink driving and had his licence suspended.
Phillips had earlier turned out for Penrith's reserve grade side in their NSW Cup win over St George Illawarra at Panthers Stadium.
The 25-year-old will continue to be available for the club, with any punishment to be determined after the conclusion of his court case.
Phillips was embroiled in a sex tape scandal during the off-season when a lewd video of him and fellow Panthers reserve grade player Liam Coleman was released online.
