Liar and a crook.
Complete cheat and would sell a family member for a dollar.
Taken from the following article -
http://m.heraldsun.com.au/news/four-legs-good-two-legs-bad/story-fni0fiyv-1227233841181McDonald and his then business-partner Lockett were charged with allegedly defrauding greyhound breeders by “ringing in” an inferior breeding dog called Black Pirate in place of their champion Malawi’s Prince.
Ignorance brought the scheme undone. As the studbook keeper knows, two blue parents cannot produce black pups, so when black pups turned up in some litters supposedly sired by the blue Malawi’s Prince, unhappy owners hollered for the marshal.
In one of the funniest scenes of modern sport, a bemused policeman found Lockett, terror of the goal square, hiding in a bedroom wardrobe in a house on the Devon Meadows property that is Darren McDonald’s training base.
McDonald and Lockett were charged with deception and other offences in 1996 but, by great good fortune, the charges were eventually dropped, much to the disgust of investigators — and of breeders, who then mounted a class action.
