FALLEN footy great Wayne Carey spent time in a Las Vegas lock-up over a further alleged outburst of violence, it has emerged.
A citizen's arrest landed the disgraced star in custody in the US gambling city in October 2004, authorities revealed yesterday.
Meanwhile, it has been reported that underworld boss Jason Moran once threatened to kill Carey after he grabbed his girlfriend's breast.
The incident happened in the mid-1990s when the footballer was drinking in a Melbourne bar frequented by underworld figures.
When Carey performed his offensive party trick - which on a later occasion landed him in court on indecent assault charges - a furious Moran told him: "Do that again, and I'll kill you."
Moran, who was later gunned down by crime rivals, became close mates with Carey.
Judy Moran, matriarch of the Morans, said Carey and former Carlton star Wayne Johnston, who was at Carey's now notorious Sunday night party (but left early), had spent time around her family's table.
