The 46 year old – who left Louis’ mum Johannah Poulston when he was five years old – was found after anxious relatives reported him missing and he was later arrested on suspicion of drink-driving and taken to Doncaster police station where he is believed to have continued to self harm. He will be sentenced next month. He’s lost all of his friends.
‘He is drinking heavily and a habitual dope smoker and that will mess with your mind’.
A source close to the family told the newspaper that Troy’s suicide attempt has nothing to do with Tomlinson and was caused by depression and a number of recent incidents with friends.
Prosecutor Joanne Lewis-Crookes notes authorities became involved because people had a feeling Troy was about to self-destruct.
Mr Austin is understood to no longer be in contact with Louis.
It’s reported that Troy had an argument with his brother last night, over a hotel they co-own and as a result found himself homeless and desperate.
A South Yorkshire Police spokesman told MailOnline today: “Troy Austin, from Doncaster, has been charged with failing to provide a specimen of breath and appeared at Doncaster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, August 19″.
Austin has previously spoken of his regret at his broken relationship with Tomlinson and said: “I’ve missed out on Louis’ life and I’d like to make up for that”.
‘It is suspected he went off, having borrowed a friend’s vehicle, to kill himself’.
His relationship with his son is reportedly strained and Tomlinson has taken the name of his stepdad, Mark Tomlinson.
Louis is now expecting his first child with 23-year-old American based stylist Briana Jungwirth.
