England’s all-time-leading scorer Wayne Rooney was arrested in the US accused of public intoxication and swearing at a Washington DC airport, it has emerged.
The former Manchester United star, who currently plays for the Major League Soccer team DC United in America, was taken into custody on 16 December in Virginia, according to court records.
He was released on his own recognisance – a promise to appear in court which means there was no need to post bail – and paid a $25 (£20/N9,000) fine plus $91 (N33,000) costs on Friday.
It is believed the 33-year-old was detained at Washington’s Dulles airport, which is near the club’s stadium.
Two days before the arrest he had posted an image online of himself in a car at the Riyadh Formula E championship race in Saudi Arabia.
Rooney was almost three times over the legal limit when he was pulled over by police.
