FORMER MAN UTD STAR, ROONEY ARRESTED AND PROSECUTED FOR PUBLIC SWEARING AND INTOXICATION
Reports have confirmed that former Manchester United striker, Wayne Rooney was arrested in December at Dulles Airport outside Washington, D.C. for public intoxication.
Rooney, who has played for U.S. soccer team D.C. United since last year, was booked into the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center on December 16 on a charge of public intoxication stemming from an arrest by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police, the local sheriff’s office said.
The 33-year-old footballer was arrested at an international arrivals gate at Dulles after he triggered a door alarm but did not breach airport security, a Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority spokesman said in a statement.
He received a $25 fine, according to court documents. Rooney was released later the same day on a personal recognizance bond, said Kraig Troxell, a spokesman for the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office.
