The former Gladiator star was reportedly moving the dead badgers for disposal following the controversial badger cull in Gloucestershire. 28-year-old David works a ‘security operative’ and had been hired to help with the cull.
David crashed his van into a bus stop in the middle of the night when he was transferring the badgers.
Kelly’s boyfriend pleaded guilty to careless driving.
The judge gave him a fine and 6 points on his license. John Parker wrote in a statement that David was checking Facebook when he ploughed into the bus stop.
‘I looked up after feeling the vehicle change direction to see a bus stop,’ he wrote. ‘I can't say if he was asleep on not, but when I looked at David both of his hands were on the wheel, but his head was on his chest. I believe his eyes were shut.’
Kelly has campaigned for animal rights charities and has even posed for PETA’s I’d Rather Go Naked campaign.
We can’t imagine Kelly would be too happy about David helping out with the controversial badger cull.
