Andy Carroll is due in court on December 30 after being charged with breaching a non-molestation order following an arrest earlier this year.
Former England and Liverpool striker Andy Carroll is scheduled to appear at Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court this Tuesday following a charge for breaching a non-molestation order.
The 36-year-old, currently playing for National League South side Dagenham and Redbridge, was arrested by Essex Police in April.
The charges stem from an alleged incident that took place in March, marking a significant legal development for the high-profile veteran forward.
Essex Police confirmed the details of the arrest and the upcoming legal proceedings in a formal statement. “A man has been charged with breaching a non-molestation order.
Andrew Carroll, 36, of Epping, was arrested on April 27 and the alleged offences relate to an incident in March.
He is due to appear at Chelmsford magistrates’ court on December 30,” the authorities noted, clarifying the timeline of the investigation.
A non-molestation order is a protective court injunction designed to prevent communication or proximity to specific individuals or locations.
Under current laws, the penalties for violating such an order are severe, ranging from financial fines to a maximum of five years in prison for the most serious offenses.
Carroll, once Britain’s most expensive footballer following a $35m move to Liverpool in 2011, now faces these significant legal ramifications.
