Wayne Rooney Was Arrested at Airport in DC for Public Intoxication

MLS defenders haven't been able to stop Wayne Rooney to this point, but it appears that Montgomery County police finally put the clamps on the star Englishman.

The DC United forward was arrested and charged with public intoxication last month at Washington's Dulles Airport. He was released that same day and paid a $25 fine.

After leaving his boyhood club Everton, Rooney was a star for club and country, becoming the all-time leading scorer for both Manchester United and the England national team. He moved to MLS after a return to Everton didn't produce much success.
