Raheem Sterling in Deep Trouble: Two Years in Prison Loom
Police say the England forward faces up to two years in prison if convicted of dangerous driving.
- Raheem Sterling has been officially charged with dangerous driving, possession of nitrous oxide, and failing to provide a required sample following his Lamborghini crash earlier this year.
- Earlier this year, the 31-year-old forward crashed his Lamborghini, reportedly worth £270,000, into a crash barrier in Hampshire, England; no other vehicles were involved and nobody was injured.
- Motorists alerted police after they saw the Lamborghini swerving across the road, and following the crash, authorities arrested Sterling on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs, releasing him on bail.
- A criminal case has developed from the investigation, requiring Sterling to appear in court on September 15; under British law, dangerous driving conviction carries up to two years imprisonment.
- Sterling joined Feyenoord in Rotterdam after his Chelsea contract expired in February, but the forward failed to impress in eight competitive appearances and has been without a club since summer.
