Troubled former footballer Daniel Kerr says he spent more time in jail than he needed to because ex-West Coast teammates couldn't raise the cash to bail him out.
Police charged Kerr with endangering the life, health and safety of two people in relation to the incident at the house in the Perth suburb of Glendalough.
The former Eagle spoke for the first time since his release from jail amid reports of his father Roger Kerr being caught up in a bizarre stabbing incident on Sunday.
Kerr, who admits he is near rock bottom, is set to appear in court on Wednesday.
"I can't get much lower, I don't think, depending on the court case," he told Seven News.
Kerr was locked up in the crisis-care unit at the Canning Vale jail.
But he said he wouldn't have needed to spend as much time as he did behind bars if wasn't for mother Roxanne Kerr's doing.
"I think it was my mum's decision to keep me in there for four or five days which at the time I wasn't too impressed with," he said.
It seems Kerr could have been out of jail sooner if fellow West Coast Eagles premiership players Andrew Embley and Dean Cox had stumped up the cash.
"I think it was five grand surety I was looking for and Embers and Coxy couldn't put it together themselves," Kerr said.
"So, I had to wait for mum for five days."
But Kerr's little taste of hard time may have had benefits.
"It was the kick in the butt I needed. It really has made me realise the important things in life," he said.
Meanwhile, Daniel's father, Roger, is involved in a police investigation after he was stabbed in the chest during the weekend.
It has been reported that Roger Kerr was heading home in a taxi from Crown Casino at around 12am Sunday when he was involved in dispute with passengers of another car at traffic lights in Bateman.
