The 36-year-old footballer allegedly upset Sikh priest , Jasvinder Singh and his wife when he reversed his car over the garden of the temple ground and parked in Mr Singh 's personal car park . The priest tried to confront Cousins before he took off again and stopped a few metres ahead to take photos of the temple . 'Again , I tried to talk to him and he started his car , ' Mr Singh said . ' I called the police and then I followed him again and he stopped his car in the middle of the road and then some cars almost hit him . ' Mr Singh then became alarmed by the behaviour and left it to the police . 'He was not looking stable . ' Footage emerged this week showing Cousins running through the streets away from police . Cousins was spotted climbing onto the roof of a two-storey home in Perth on Monday . Footage emerged showing the fallen AFL star running through the streets away from police , before he was taken into custody for the third time in two weeks . Cousins can be seen stopping and starting his car with its door flung wide open near the Sikh temple , before he is filmed sprinting away from the officers . No charges had been laid over those two incidents and inquiries are continuing , police say . Cousins entered rehab for 'substance abuse ' in 2007 and was later suspended from the AFL for one year for bringing the game into disrepute . Cousins returned to the game with Richmond in 2009 , before he retired at the end of the 2010 season . He is scheduled to appear in Fremantle Magistrates Court on April 8 .
