The former rugby league player is being investigated by NSW in relation to Strike Force Castlestead.
The strike force was formed in September 2018 "to investigate and dismantle an alleged drug supply syndicate operating across the Newcastle City and Lake Macquarie Police Districts," a statement from NSW Police said on Monday.
Since December, five search warrants have been executed and ten people have been arrested and charged in relation to a range of matters including supplying a large commercial quantity of a prohibited drug and knowingly participating in a criminal group.
Investigations by the strike force continue and further arrests are anticipated, NSW Police said.
