GOLD Coast boss Travis Auld insists Campbell Brown's arrest will not jeopardise the large payout he received from the club after being sacked last year.

Brown once again landed in hot water when he was arrested and charged with obstructing police and attempting to enter outside Broadbeach nightclub East in the early hours of Sunday.

Brown, who is due to appear in court on February 4, was celebrating the win of his part-owned horse Sweet Idea in the $1 million Magic Millions 3YO Guineas at the Gold Coast.

Brown won $45,000 gambling on the race and was seen drinking pre-mix UDL alcopops from the winning owners' trophy at the Magic Millions sales complex hours after the win.

It's the latest fall from grace for Brown after the hard nut was sacked by the Suns in November when a drunken punch he threw outside a Los Angeles nightclub left teammate Steven May with a broken jaw.

Brown is set to relocate to Melbourne this month to ramp up his media career and was reported saying "I've come up for one last week of debauchery" to a friend at a Magic Millions function last week.

He also hinted he was starting fresh when he said "it's a new year" to the media on Saturday in reference to his differing fortunes over the past few months.

CAMPBELL BROWN'S CAREER RAP SHEET

Despite the axing, it was reported Brown was expected to receive 75 per cent of his wage for the 2014 season.

Auld said the latest incident would not affect his payout but he refused to reveal how much it was.

Auld also said he would not ban the club's players from socialising with Brown despite Trent McKenzie and Brandon Matera being seen celebrating with the former Suns player at the Magic Millions sales complex on Saturday night.

Before his arrest, Brown likened Sweet Idea's victory to winning the Grand Final with Hawthorn in 2008.

"It was like winning a Grand Final and obviously not as much hard work and effort goes into it from my part but just that pure elation for the minute after the race was exactly like it," he said.

"I was hugging people I've never met and it just means so much."
