Sterling faces court over driving charges

Former Liverpool and Manchester City footballer Raheem Sterling must face court charges for dangerous driving and possession of nitrous oxide.

Former Liverpool and Manchester City star Raheem Sterling is set to appear in court on September 15 after being charged with dangerous driving and possession of nitrous oxide. The charges relate to a traffic accident on a southbound motorway on May 28, where no other vehicles were involved and no personal injuries were reported, though his car was destroyed.

Sterling was arrested in May and has been charged with failing to provide a blood sample. According to British media, he risks several years in prison if convicted. Police had also suspected him of driving while unfit due to drug use, but this specific allegation is not included in the current charges. freshyourfeel.org
