Andy Carroll set to appear in court on Tuesday after arrest and charge for breaching non-molestation order.
Andy Carroll, a former England striker, is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday after being accused of violating a non-molestation order.
Carroll, who played for Newcastle and Liverpool among other teams and received nine caps for England, was detained in April after allegedly breaking the law the month before.
An Essex police spokesperson said: “A man has been charged with breaching a non-molestation order. Andrew Carroll, 36, of Epping, was arrested on 27 April and the alleged offences relate to an incident in March this year. He is due to appear at Chelmsford magistrates court on 30 December.”
Carroll’s previous employers include West Ham, Reading, and West Brom. He played for Amiens and Bordeaux in France before joining Dagenham & Redbridge, a National League South team, in July.
A court injunction known as a non-molestation order is usually used to prevent someone from communicating with another person. A fine or, in the worst circumstances, up to five years in prison are the possible penalties for violating the order.
