By KYLIE STEVENS FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA

Former AFL star Tarryn Thomas has allegedly been held hostage at gunpoint for several hours over a car deal that went wrong.

The ex-North Melbourne star was reportedly with friends at a pub in Ballarat on Saturday night when he and another man drove to another location. 

It’s understood that Thomas told police two men held him and his friend at gunpoint, demanding that they sign over the papers to their car and hand over thousands in cash, Nine News reported.

The pair were allegedly held hostage for several hours before making a deal with the men, who dropped them off at a property.

It’s understood Thomas went to police at the time but has since retracted his statement.

Thomas was sacked when the AFL imposed an 18-match suspension for multiple misconduct breaches in February 2024

The incident comes a year after Thomas was sacked when the AFL imposed an 18-match suspension for multiple misconduct breaches, including threatening a woman via direct messages.

He was forced to sit out the entire 2024 season but but has since granted permission to train and play for a non-aligned VFL club this year.

More to come.
