August 11, 2004 - 3:06PM


Disgraced former NSW detective Roger Rogerson was today arrested and charged in South Australia with an attempt to pervert the course of justice, sources said.

The Anti-Corruption Branch of the South Australian police are understood to have arrested and charged the former NSW police officer a short time ago.

Further details were expected from South Australian police later today.

Rogerson is currently awaiting a sentence after pleading guilty in the NSW District Court to giving false evidence to a Police Integrity Commission hearing on May 25, 1999.

His wife, Anne Melocco, pleaded guilty to the same charge.
