Manchester City's Carlos Tevez has been
ordered to carry out 250 hours of community
service after driving while disqualified and
without insurance.
.
The 29-year-old of Alderley Edge, Cheshire, was also
banned from driving for six months and fined £1,000.
.
He was arrested after breaking an earlier driving ban
for failing to reply to police letters about speeding.
Magistrates heard Tevez does not have a UK licence
because he has struggled to pass the theory test in
English.
.
Argentine striker Tevez was stopped by police on 7
March as he left the Mottram Hall Hotel and Golf Club
in Cheshire, Macclesfield Magistrates' Court heard.
.
Kate Marchuk, prosecuting, said: "There had been a
call from an anonymous caller, that the defendant
had driven a white Range Rover to the golf club
whilst disqualified."
.
In fact Tevez did not get into the Range Rover, but
left the club at about 17:00 GMT in a white Porsche
Cayenne.
.
He was stopped nearby and arrested for driving while
disqualified and having no insurance.
.
He told the officer: "I only live down the road. Two
minutes."
.
Tevez was taken to the police station and later bailed
but at a second interview made no reply to police
questions.
That was very bad of him. See what he has brought upon himself now..too bad for the footballer. He has to obey what he has been told to do
