August 12, 2004<p>Roger Rogerson will make several appearances in Adelaide this week: some on stage as a Wild Colonial Psycho and one in court as a man charged by anti-corruption police.<p>Rogerson, in South Australia for a week-long tour of clubs and hotels with former Aussie rules footballer Mark "Jacko" Jackson and underworld figure turned author Mark "Chopper" Read, was arrested as he left his hotel room at the Holiday Inn at midday yesterday.<p>The disgraced former NSW detective was taken to the police watch house and charged with "procure the abuse of a public officer". The charge, an annoyed Rogerson told the Herald last night, stemmed from an incident in 2002 when he had tried to help a friend, a process server, who was trying to serve a subpoena on a former prisoner.<p>Rogerson said he had given the process server the name of a South Australian police contact who could help. <p>That policeman had later been suspended and faced internal charges for providing the information. "If they had summonsed me I would have turned up, but it's the jackboots. They're giving Roger a tickle up," he said.<p>Before attending his sell-out gig at the Southern Districts Working Men's Club in Morphett Vale last night, Rogerson said his release on bail, pending his appearance in court tomorrow, would not affect the trio's tour with Wild Colonial Psycho, a theatre comedy show. <p>His lawyer, Paul Kenny, said: "Despite today's unfortunate occurrence, the show will go on." <p>His client added: "The show must go on, yes f---ing oath, I've got to keep working. I need the money." Rogerson has substantial legal bills relating to troubles closer to home. <p>In Sydney, he is facing a possible five-year jail sentence after recently pleading guilty in the NSW District Court to giving false evidence before a 1999 Police Integrity Commission hearing. He will be sentenced next month.<p>Rogerson's co-star, Jackson, said the Psycho shows were part of Australian folk history.<p>"You've got Roger from the white side, Chopper from the dark side and the grey area in the middle which is me ... <p>"It's no Kylie Minogue show, that's for sure, but people want to see it and hear their accounts of things."<p>*testy comments anybody? - to say I am unhappy would be an understatement*
