Wayne Rooney was arrested and fined in the United States last month for public intoxication and swearing.

The former England and Manchester United captain, who now plays for Major League Soccer's DC United, was arrested on 16 December in Virginia.

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".

The spokesman added: "He was later released on a personal recognizance bond." 

According to reports, Rooney was arrested at Dulles International Airport, which is located in the northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, after a returning from a trip to Saudi Arabia where he attended the opening race of the Formula E season near Riyadh. 

Court documents from Loudoun General District Court show that Rooney, 33, paid a $25 fine and $91 costs on 4 January.

Rooney was banned from driving for two years in September 2017 after he was found to be almost three times over the legal limit when he was stopped by police in Cheshire. 

The forward moved to the US in June 2018 after signing a three-and-a-half-year contract with DC United. 

Rooney led the club to the play-offs in his first season before they suffered a first-round loss, with the former Everton player missing a penalty in a shootout against Columbus Crew.

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."

5 Things Lecturers Will Do If They Want To Sleep With You

5 Things Lecturers Will Do If They Want To Sleep With You When you see your lecturer doing any of these five things, you should know the third leg is trying to walk its way into your heart. Its been a while we heard of sex scandal involving lecturers and students coming from our campuses. I remember this because I know it happens. If you haven't heard about it in a long while, it's probably because the victims are not bold enough to expose Mr Lecturer. Not all ladies in our higher institutions have the confidence to turn down a lecturer's sexual advances like Bimbo Owoyemi. Don't think this piece is out to disgrace lecturers. No, it is only teaching innocent ladies on campus to take caution. Also, I am not saying our university and polytechnic lecturers are randy skirt chasers, but If you have been to higher institutions in Nigeria, you will understand the different ways a lecturer presents his sex agenda. Stories of lecturers seeking ...

Wizkid doesn't have much money like his fans thinks he does. So many bloggers might get it all wrong concerning wizkid new behavior in social media, the truth behind all this, is because he refused to pay his baby mamas child support money. It is proven to the world that wizkid expensive lifestyle is a scam believe it or not. He has also spoken about himself not singing for a year without much details to his fans.
