Wayne Rooney has said his public intoxication arrest came when he was left “disorientated” by prescribed sleeping tablets he took on a flight while drinking.<\/p>\n

It emerged on Sunday<\/strong> that the former Manchester United and England captain was taken into custody in the US after a flight from Saudi Arabia touched down.<\/p>\n

Police said the 33-year-old was arrested on December 16 after triggering a door alarm at Washington’s Dulles airport, near the stadium for his current team, DC United.<\/p>\n

In a statement to the Press Association, his spokesman said the footballer was apprehended after a lengthy flight from the Gulf state where he was on a one-day business trip.<\/p>\n

“During the flight Wayne took a prescribed amount of sleeping tablets mixed with some alcohol consumption and consequently was disorientated on arrival. He was approached by police who arrested him on a minor misdemeanour charge,” the spokesman said.<\/p>\n

“He received a statutory automatic fine and was released shortly afterwards at the airport. The matter is now at an end.<\/p>\n

“Wayne would like to put on record his appreciation for the manner he was treated by all involved.”<\/p>\n

Rooney<\/strong>, who is still banned from driving in the UK after he was caught drink-driving, set off the alarm but did not breach airport security, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police said.<\/p>\n

“Mr Rooney was charged with public intoxication and transported to Loudoun County Detention Centre to be held until sober,” a statement added.<\/p>\n

Court files state he paid a fine of 25 US dollars (\u00a319.65) and costs of 91 dollars (\u00a371.50) over his latest offence.<\/p>\n

Two days before the arrest he posted an image online of himself in a car at the Riyadh Formula E championship race in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Rooney, in September 2017, admitted drink-driving on a night out when he was caught driving a woman’s Volkswagen Beetle when nearly three times the legal limit.<\/p>\n

He was banned from driving for two years and ordered to carry out unpaid work in the community.<\/p>\n

After a return to Everton, he transferred to DC United and made his debut on July 14 last year.<\/p>\n

“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,” his current team said.<\/p>\n
