Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez faces a jail sentence after being arrested on suspicion of driving while disqualified.
Responding to an inquiry about the
Argentina international, Cheshire Police said Friday a 29-year-old man
was arrested after he was stopped on a road in Macclesfield, northern
England, on Thursday.
Tevez was banned from driving for six
months on Jan. 16 after failing to respond to letters by police in
relation to incidents where his car was caught speeding.
"The man was arrested on suspicion of
driving whilst disqualified and has since been released on police bail,"
Cheshire Police said in a statement.
The maximum penalty for driving while disqualified in England is six months in prison.
Britain's Press Association reported
that Tevez was allegedly at the wheel of a Porsche Cayenne when he was
stopped by police near his home.
Tevez admitted in January that he
didn't hold a proper British driving license but denied he was driving
when his car was caught speeding on two occasions last year. His
solicitor said at the time that Tevez didn't understand some words in
the letters from police, and therefore didn't respond.
I highly doubt he will get sent down because of who he is and how much money he has.
