Berahino to be quizzed about drink-driving

PREMIER League football star Saido Berahino is to be interviewed by police after being arrested on suspicion of drink-driving.

The West Brom and England striker was stopped for travelling at “high speed” on the M6 motorway in the early hours of the morning.

And when officers spoke to Berahino, he was then arrested on suspicion of drink-driving.

The 21-year-old was interviewed, bailed and must go back to a police station to speak to officers again next month following his arrest near Lymm in Cheshire last month.

A Cheshire Police spokeswoman said: “At 3.39am on the morning of Wednesday October 22 a patrol stopped a car travelling at high speed southbound on the M6 near junction 20.

“A 21-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving, interviewed and was subsequently bailed and is due to appear at a Cheshire custody suite early in December.”

Berahino was called up to the England squad by Roy Hodgson earlier this month, but did not play in the Euro 2016 clash with Slovenia or the friendly against Scotland.
