Dieter Brummer was arrested as he tried to celebrate after the Logie TV awards, it's been reported. The 34-year-old former Home And Away and Underbelly star - who is making a guest appearance in Neighbours as Captain Troy Miller - was allegedly refused entry to the Channel Nine after party at the Crown Casino in Melbourne at 2.30am. Dieter reportedly tried to join the party to celebrate Underbelly beating Neighbours and Home And Away to the Outstanding Drama award, but was detained by security guards who called the police, Australia's Herald Sun newspaper reports. A Victoria Police spokeswoman apparently said that a 34-year-old man from Bondi North had been charged with intentionally causing injury, recklessly causing injury, unlawful assault, behaving in a riotous manner, and being drunk in a public place. Dieter will reportedly appear before Melbourne Magistrates Court on August 29. Meanwhile at the Logies, Neighbours' Margot Robbie (Donna) missed out on the Most Popular New Actress award while Home And Away's Charles Cottier (Dexter) missed out on the Most Popular New Male talent award.
