A spokesman for Loudoun County Sheriff's Office confirmed Rooney was taken into custody "on a charge of public intoxication stemming from an arrest by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police".

A statement from DC United said: "We are aware of news reports indicating that Wayne Rooney was arrested in December.

"We understand the media's interest in this matter but we believe this is a private matter for Wayne that DC United will handle internally. We have no further comment on this situation."

He got done for DUI not long ago I think.
A real poultice of a bloke.

He’s now blaming sleeping pills.

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

he must swear in his sleep as one of the charges was swearing in public, it didn't make Dopey and more Dopey.

Yeah but are they sure he was swearing? He could well have been polite but the officers found his accent offensive.

I doubt DC police understand Scouse, that will be thrown out.

The costs were more than the fine $25 and $91 costs must include state tax

With his accent, the pills and alcohol he would have been unintelligible.

They will know he’s lying because he said the pills he took affected his brain!
