Scottsdale Police Release Mugshots as Hawthorn’s Dylan Moore and Connor Macdonald Face U.S. Trespass Case

Hawthorn maintains it kept the incident in-house for legal reasons.

Overview

  • Police in Scottsdale said the pair were arrested for third-degree criminal trespass at 10:47pm on November 8 after officers found them about eight feet up on a boom lift in a car park, and they were held overnight due to their out‑of‑country residency.
  • Mugshots of Dylan Moore and Connor Macdonald were released, and an initial drug paraphernalia charge against Moore was later dismissed at the request of the Scottsdale City Attorney.
  • Court records list Moore for a July 13 sentencing hearing and Macdonald for August 4, with appearances expected to be via video based on earlier club and media reports.
  • Hawthorn fined the players, assigned community service and re‑education, and removed Moore from the vice‑captaincy, with Moore completing a 16‑hour diversion program on alcohol and relationships.
  • The AFL integrity unit was kept informed and is not pursuing additional sanctions, as the incident became public days before Round 1 and drew scrutiny of the club’s disclosure timing.
