Dunstan, 21, fell asleep in public and detained by police for a few hours before being released and fined.
In a statement released by the club on Saturday afternoon, Saints football general manager Jamie Cox said that Dunstan had apologised for his behaviour.
Dunstan co-operated with the police and told the club about his misdemeanour.
"Luke notified the club immediately of the situation and is extremely remorseful," Cox said in the statement.
"Luke's a trusted young man of strong character and we're disappointed he has not met club expectations on this occasion.
"This serves as a prescient reminder to our playing group of the importance of responsible consumption of alcohol."
Dunstan played 18 AFL games in 2016 to take his career tally to 53. Club leaders will meet next week to decide on further disciplinary action.
