Ex-England and Premier League footballer arrested at airport as police statement issued

The former Premier League player was arrested upon arrival in the UK.

A former England and Premier League player was reportedly arrested upon arrival at an airport.

The ex-England player, who has not been named, was reportedly spoken to by police after flying into the United Kingdom.

As reported by The Sun, the footballer travelled to Stansted airport in London via a budget airline flight and was arriving from Europe.

It has been suggested that police confirmed the player was arrested earlier this year in connection with breaching a court order.

The report stated that the former Premier League star was arrested in front of ‘stunned passengers’.

A source told the publication: “You can imagine it was a huge surprise for other passengers at the airport when they saw him being spoken to by police officers at passport control.

“He had already been recognised by lots of people on the plane journey so it wasn’t as if he was keeping a low profile. He played for England and in the Premier League so he was attracting plenty of attention. It seemed as if an issue was flagged up to the Border Force officers at passport ­control at Stansted, which led to police being called.”

The source continued: “He was questioned for a while and then taken away by the police. It caused quite a kerfuffle as there were lots of other passengers around in the arrivals area of Stansted where he was arrested. Stansted is a very busy airport and he had travelled from a popular European destination on a budget airline.”

Furthermore, a spokesperson for Essex Police told The Sun on Sunday: “A man was arrested at Stansted Airport on April 27 on suspicion of breaching a non-molestation order, and has been released on bail.”

Under UK laws, people who breach a court order could potentially face a jail sentence, depending on the circumstances.
