The Western Bulldogs have released a club statement regarding an incident involving Jason Johannisen at Crown on the weekend.

The Dogs have confirmed Johannisen involvement in the incident - or lack thereof - and were pleased with the way he handled himself.

The full statement can be seen below.

The Western Bulldogs can confirm an incident involving Jason Johannisen and his partner at Crown Casino last weekend.

Jason was at Crown with his partner and a small group of male and female friends in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Another group of males began acting extremely inappropriately towards some female members of Jason’s group, which caused an argument between males of both groups (which did not involve Johannisen).

Crown security intervened immediately, the groups dispersed, and Jason’s group left the Casino and travelled home.

Jason was not intoxicated, there have been no complaints made to the Club from the public, nor has it received any incident reports from Victoria Police or Crown Casino.

While the Club and his management are very supportive of Jason’s handling of the incident due to the inappropriate actions of the group of males toward his girlfriend and her female friends, they are disappointed he was out late.

The Club will be making no further comment at this time.
