Fallen AFL star Ben Cousins has been charged with meth possession.

Cousins was arrested at a house in Canning Vale last night about 6.15pm in relation to a different matter.

Police allegedly found 13 grams of methylamphetamine on him during a search.

He has been charged with possessing a prohibited drug, threatening to injure a person and two counts of breaching a family violence restraining order.

He is due to appear in the Armadale Magistrate’s Court today.

Despite his troubles, Cousins is still a big hit with footballers and fans alike.

The Brownlow medallist was the star attraction at Thornlie Football and Sports Club’s western derby panel show earlier this month.

Appearing alongside West Coast premiership teammates Andrew Embley, Daniel Kerr, Adam Hunter and Quinten Lynch, Cousins was all smiles while posing for photos and signing autographs for the sell out crowd.

Cousins also worked with the Eagles in a part-time role in the club’s community and game development department earlier this year.

Midfielder Liam Duggan said Cousins was in “a really good space” during his time with the club, which ended suddenly in April.
