Wayne Rooney Charged With Drink Driving

The Everton striker was stopped by Cheshire police on Thursday evening
and questioned

Wayne Rooney has been charged with drink driving, Cheshire Police have
confirmed following widespread reports on Friday morning.

The Everton striker, who recently retired from international football,
was reportedly stopped by Cheshire police on Thursday evening.

Rooney has been released on bail until September 18, when he will
appear in court.

A spokesman for the local police force said: “Cheshire Police has
charged a man with drink-driving following a vehicle stop in Wilmslow.

“The man was arrested shortly after 2:00am today, Friday
September 1, after officers stopped a black VW Beetle on Altrincham Road,
Wilmslow.

“Wayne Rooney, aged 31, has since been charged with driving whilst
over the prescribed limit.

“Rooney has been released on bail and is due to appear at
Stockport Magistrates’ Court on September 18, 2017.”

It is claimed that Rooney, England’s all-time record goalscorer, was
seen spending the evening at the Bubble Room, a bar and restaurant near to his
home, prior to his arrest.

The 31-year-old has lived in Cheshire with his wife, Coleen, and their
children, Kai, Klay and Kit, for over 12 years.

Coleen recently announced that she is expecting a fourth child with
Rooney, with the next addition to their family set to arrive in 2018.

Rooney, naturally, saw no reason to move home when he completed his
transfer from Manchester United to Everton, and has enjoyed a fine start to the
season at his boyhood club.

Signed amid an aggressive summer of recruitment from Everton, Rooney
on his debut against Stoke City, and also netted in the 1-1 draw with
Manchester City.
