Ledger's Uncle ARRESTED!

Filed under: Australiastic > Legal Matters > Heath Ledger > Busted!

There's some bad press for Heath Ledger's family in Australia.

It turns out Ledger's uncle, Haydn Charles Ledger, has been charged by police with stealing three bobcat machine trucks in Perth's northern suburbs.

Police say Haydn was one of two men who allegedly stole the bobcat machines worth $137,000.

One was stolen in early June, the other two in July.

Yesterday morning, police on patrol spotted a man asleep in the driver's seat of a truck parked outside a machinery sales office. Detectives later issued a search warrant for the business.

There, they found the three stolen bobcats and a tomahawk, along with finding drugs on the driver.

Haydn was charged with stealing and receiving.

Another 40 year old man was then charged with possessing a weapon and methamphetamine along with stealing.

Let's see how the Ledger family tries to spin this.

      Can I proofread for you? Please? I'm excellent at it, and I could use the money more than the idiot who's currently working for you.

      Everyone has sketchy family members. It doesn't matter who you are. This isn't news.

      The Ledger family doesn't have to spin this! They don't even have to address this. It's got nothing to do with Health Ledger. Why give importance to some random relative with criminal problems??

      I couldn't tell you a thing my uncle has done in the last 10 years, except move to Florida.

      P.S.
      I LOVE PEREZ HILTON!!!!!!

    19. Vee says – reply to this

      Why do they even have to spin it? It is what it is. Heath's uncle is an adult and is responsible for his own actions. Is this even news?

    27. 27

      Oh man, how about you guys go to the smallest town and find the most unknown family that has done this same event. They could use the publicity a little more than Heath Ledgers family does right now… Blah

    28. Clap says – reply to this


      28

      I read here a lot it's entertaining, but you should really just leave that family alone.

    29. hello says – reply to this


      29

      You spelled "stealing" wrong. You need an editor to help you. My first thought at looking at the photo of Heath was "he's looking really good. Then I remembered he was gone and not actually getting healthier. RIP, man.

      What is steeling?

      31

      Ledgers dead who cares I cant wait fro the next star to die its more fun than the births. Who's next I'm so excited since Heath was young the next will be old maybe young again I cant wait"what a loss" "oh we'll miss him" As the fanily wrestles for the dead persons money

      bobcats. who cares. where are we. hicksville?

    33. Anon says – reply to this


      33

      Isn't this one of the uncles, Heath's father's brother, who claimed Heath's father was trying to steal all Heath's money? LOLOL!!! Obviously, the uncle is the one who is a crook and a thief. I'm glad they busted him. And I'm glad it was published. Now people will stop believing the lies they tell! Heath's uncles didn't even go to his funeral. The only thing they have in common is their name.

    34. shs says – reply to this


      34

      i thought he would be charged with stealing not steeling. i didnt know you could be arrested for steeling. oh my

    35. what says – reply to this


      35

      Let's say Heath was alive while this happened…doesn't define who he is a person. We all have a family member or know someone who has a famiy member that isn't altogether. Anyhow, the Ledger family does not need to address this to the media. Move on.

      36

      HUH…SO THEY HAVE METH IN AUSTRALIA?
      WHAT, DID THE DIRTY MEXICANS FIGURE OUT A WAY TO SMUGGLE IT INTO AUSTRALIA LIKE THEY DO IN AMERICA?
      FUCKING WETBACKS ARE RUINING AMERICA.
      THEY THINK WE WHITES STOLE IT FROM THEM.
      JUST IMAGINE IF WETBACKS TAKE OVER AMERICA, IT WOULD BE A SHIT HOLE LIKE MEXICO WITHIN A MONTH. THANK GOD WE HAVE THE ARMED FORCES TO BEAT THE WETBACKS DOWN.

      37

      Perez, please. I have been reading your site for over 2 years and this is the first time I have felt strongly enough to comment. There is no need to create anticipation for the way the Ledger family will react to this. They have been through enough and they went through their tragedy in the public eye. Now it's time for us to leave them alone and move on with their lives the best they can in PEACE!

    38. sm says – reply to this


      38

      PREZ, YOU IDIOT ASSHOLE. WILL YOU LET HEATH REST IN PEACE PLEASE, NO MATTER WHAT WAS GOING ON IN HIS LIFE, LET HIM REST, WHO GIVES A SHIT WHAT HIS FAMILY MEMBERS ARE DOING. CELEBS THEMSELVES GET ARRESTED ALL THE TIME FOR SHIT. WE DONT CARE ABOUT THAT OR THEIR FAMILIES ARREST.

    39. Jerk says – reply to this


      39

      Um…is this really relevant?

      And you need a copy editor before you start posting stuff online…there are a LOT of grammatical and spelling errors on your website. To borrow a term from you, "So unprofesh."

      what does this have to do with him? stupidest post ever.

    41. Kaitl says – reply to this

      Who cares?

      Leave them alone.

    42. Diane says – reply to this


      42

      Getting closer and closer to not reading your site. This stuff is just such bull shit.

      Why would you even post this and try to tarnish Heath's name in a mess his uncle caused himself that has nothing to do with Heath? It's even worth reading (I only read the first line or two). It surely isn't worth you posting on the web. Who cares how the family spins it. If you people wouldn't even post it, no one would even know about it.

      Jesus Christ. What an asshole you are.

    43. Shhh says – reply to this


      43

      Leave the poor family alone!!! Haven't they already been through enough? Are you going to put Heath's picture up every time his family messes up? This is life, people fail and mess up all the time. How would you feel if a picture of someone deceased in your family came up everytime you messed up? IT"S SHITTY! DON"T DO IT!

    44. BB says – reply to this


      44

      You know what….who cares? People get arrested all the time for crap like that and just because it is Heath's uncle it has to make press? Grow up

    45. omess says – reply to this


      45

      Is this one of the Health's uncle who doesn't get along father?

    46. wally says – reply to this


      46

      perez, bad judgement here…, nothing truly related to Heath and just press that his family shouldn't have to deal with…shame on you for not being more interesting or respectful

    47. Fanny says – reply to this


      47

      Frankly, who gives a crap! Now that he's dead, do we have to all of a sudden start hearing about his families antics on the other side of the earth?

    48. riopa says – reply to this


      48

      Perez, this shit is only news if Ledger came back from the dead and did it. These people are not celebrities. Next.

    51. 51

      54

      Well let's see–perhaps "they spin it" like this:

      Adult male Aussie capable of making his own decisions chooses to make bad ones and steal construction equipment. Incidentially he has some relation to Heath Ledger by virtue of some shared DNA.

      No one cared about the uncle b4 why care now ???!!!

      Rest in peace, Heath

    57. JJ says – reply to this


      57

      And you posted this…why?

      You're a man who lives off the misery of others. Knocking people down if you don't like them or think they're not as good looking as they should be. All the time, posting "it's a good/worthwhile cause" posts to make yourself feel better. And of course, I read it all and check the site for new "news" a couple times a day — that doesn't make me much better for supporting you.

      Why does this matter? It has nothing to do with Heath Ledger? Would we care if, say, Hillary Duff's cousins friend shoplifted? NO. So why do were care about Heath's uncle? Perez I thought you would have more class and let the dead rest…IN PEACE.

    61. Robyn says – reply to this

      Come on Perez let them be, don't look for new "angles" on that situation plz. Not cool

      They don't have to spin it because NO ONE CARES. His family is NOT famous!

      The immediate family had nothing to do with this, it really amounts to absolutely nothing :s. If your second cousin twice removed was arrested would we feel the need to make it news…? Disgraceful and distasteful :(

    65. nash says – reply to this


      65

      LEAVE HIM ALONE - i'm sure the Ledger family has gone through enough tragedy and publicity. Let them be in peace and please don't try to add any flame to the fire - PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE TO MAKE MONEY OFF.

      Were they really Bobcat machines? Or were they loaders made by another company?

      Shows the power of branding. Facial tissues = Kleenex. Soda = Coke. Loaders = Bobcat.

    67. tu es says – reply to this


      67

      the guy is dead!! please let him rest in peace!! and why do you have to include his picture in there?? he didn't have anything to do with it!

    68. amy says – reply to this


      68

      The Ledger family (Heaths parents, sisters etc) do not talk to this uncle. He is the one who made claims that heaths dad would keep Heaths estate from Matilda.. Prove what a load of sh*t that was

    69. M says – reply to this


      69

      My guess would be that the Ledger family will NOT react… why should they?? This has nothing to do with them… or Heath…

      Let's ponder this, Perez… would you have posted this if Heath were still alive? I'm guessing not. Let this poor family grieve. None of the Ledgers (Heath included) were ever much for the media circus… If you feel the need to talk about Heath, let's discuss how amazing The Dark Knight is, shall we?!

      70

      Wow, he looks just like Heath.

    71. Jani says – reply to this


      71

      I agree with previous commenters. It is not quite fair to comment Heath relatives lifes in public. I think they won´t want any more attention as they´re already getting. And remember Perez, you´ll only talk good to people who are not here anymore. It wasn´t heath who stole things, so why you are posting his photo ( it should have been his uncle´s photo ) and say bad things? Let us respect him and praise his latest work and think about good thoughs how good job he did when he lived. Like you have done before also.

    72. heath says – reply to this


      72

      awwwwwww!!! look at him :( its sooo sad to know we'll never see him in any other movies after the dark knight….. hes soooo cute
