Carlos Tevez has been arrested for allegedly driving while disqualified and is now waiting to hear whether he could face a charge that could bring a possible prison sentence.

Tevez, banned from driving for six months in January, was taken to Macclesfield police station on Thursday evening after being stopped in a high-powered car on the edge of the town.

A statement from Cheshire police said: "At 5.13pm on Thursday 7 March police arrested a 29-year-old man from Alderley Edge on the A538 in Macclesfield on suspicion of driving while disqualified. He has since been released on police bail."

Tevez had previously pleaded guilty to two counts of failing to supply information over incidents in which his car was clocked speeding. As well as being banned, he was ordered to pay fines and costings totalling £1,540. His legal team had told Manchester Magistrates' Court their client did not understand the word 'constabulary' on official letters from the police.

Doubt he'll get any prison time, given his status and riches, but still a stupid thing to be doing...

he is one of the most brainless people in professional football, doing stupid things is not in anyway surprising and trouble seems to follow him everywhere.

a term in prison would be excellent for him, after all the s*it he has subjected english football over recent years.

That's a bit over the top.

Status and riches didn't save Tony Adams from a spell inside.

It's true that he doesn't seem like the sharpest tool in the box but I don't think you can send him to prison for crimes against football!

Pointless fining someone of his wealth a few grand, he'd find that down behind the couch. Extend his driving ban by another 12 months and warn him that a repeat offence will come with jail time. That would be fair imo.

If he serves even one day inside a prison I'll be surprised.

Edit : He was disqualified for speeding previously, at least it wasnt a drink driving charge, hit and run or something similar.

Brillant, I should close the thread and delete all other replies other then this one.

Well played.

I wouldn't see speeding as any different drink driving. Both are reckless and endanger others.

He was previously caught speeding. I can't see anything in that report that indicates they pulled him over for speeding this time. They obviously stopped him for something, but it could have been anything from tail lights to local police being aware his license had been suspended.

If he pleads guilty - which he will - then I can't see him being hit with anything other than a fine.

Hope he is hit with the exact same sentence you'd expect anyone else to get.

The fine for the basic offense is 3 to 6 points on your licence when you get it back and a fine of up to £1,000.

It's all relative isn't it. Someone who gets arrested for having a pint and being over and someone doing 135km/h on a 120km/h stretch as opposed to someone who is hammered getting into a car and someone doing 100km/h past a school.

Neither is inherently worse than the other.

We'll take points anyway we can get them to catch united......

A fine by the FA for £24? I wonder what that's all about, probably something to do with committing fouls or something, surely.

Will his work permit/visa be in any way at risk due to this? I doubt la migra in the UK would be hard enough to send someone home on a driving offence such as this, but you never know what implications this may have. Tevez clearly doesn't like England by the way he treats the laws and speaks about it, this is probably another way of him showing he couldn't give a ****, no matter how stupid he is for doing it.

If Joe Bloggs, a plumber from Chester gets jailed for a similar crime then Carlos Tevez, a footballer from Argentina should face the exact same punishment

That Joe Bloggs is pure scum though, the amount of times I've heard his name come up is crazy, no smoke without fire and all that, chestnuts can be lazy.

Ah here. In all fairness he may be very unlikable to some fans, especially UTD fans like myself but to say he is nothing more nothing less than a fool? Just No. He is also an exceptional footballer.
