Canberra Raiders youngster Chevy Stewart has avoided a criminal conviction after an alcohol-fuelled incident at a Sydney venue caused close to $5,000 worth of damage.

The fullback pleaded guilty to one count of destroying or damaging property following an incident at the Northies Cronulla Hotel last September.

While Stewart initially walked away unaware of the damage, the liquid caused the machine to short-circuit, plunging the entire gaming room into darkness.

An agreed statement of facts tendered to the court revealed other patrons later attempted to use the machine before power to the room was lost entirely.
