Police said the 33-year-old was arrested on December 16 after triggering a door alarm at Washington’s Dulles airport, near the stadium for his current team, DC United.In a statement released on Sunday evening, his spokesman said the footballer was apprehended after a lengthy flight from the Gulf state where he was on a one-day business trip.“During the flight Wayne took a prescribed amount of sleeping tablets mixed with some alcohol consumption and consequently was disorientated on arrival. He was approached by police who arrested him on a minor misdemeanour charge,” the spokesman said.“He received a statutory automatic fine and was released shortly afterwards at the airport. The matter is now at an end.“Wayne would like to put on record his appreciation for the manner he was treated by all involved.”3
