Los Angeles: Portland Timbers captain Liam Ridgewell has been arrested for drink-driving after rushing to the aid of goalkeeper Jake Gleeson following a late-night car crash, reports said on Tuesday.
Former Birmingham and West Bromwich Albion defender Ridgewell failed a roadside sobriety test after driving to pick up Gleeson from the scene of a two-vehicle accident. Gleeson also failed a sobriety test, reports said.
Both players had refused to be breathalyzed. Ridgewell, 32, and Gleeson, 26, were booked for driving under the influence of intoxicants and ordered to appear in court on November 16. Gleeson was also charged with reckless driving and reckless endangerment.
