Wayne Rooney arrested in US for public intoxication, police say

A spokesman for Loudoun County Sheriff's Office said: "He was booked into the Loudoun County Adult Detention Centre on December 16 2018, on a charge of public intoxication stemming from an arrest by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police.

"He was later released on a personal recognisance bond."

Rooney, in September 2017, admitted drink-driving on a night out when he was caught driving a woman's Volkswagen Beetle when nearly three times the legal limit.

He was banned from driving for two years and ordered to carry out unpaid work in the community.

After a return to Everton, he transferred to DC United and made his debut on
July 14 last year.

Court files state he paid a fine of 25 US dollars (#19.65) and costs of 91
dollars (#71.50) over his latest offence.

The documents also say he was charged under the Virginian law of "public
swearing/intoxication".

Two days before the arrest he posted an image online of himself in a car at the
Riyadh Formula E championship race in Saudi Arabia.
