Berahino issued arrest warrant over drink-driving incident

An arrest warrant has been issued for Saido Berahino after he failed to pay a £75,000 fine over a drink-driving incident in February, according to the Mirror.

The former West Bromwich Albion striker was arrested in London after driving a short distance over the allowed alcohol-drinking limit.

He was banned from driving for 30 months and ordered to pay £75,870 before September 7.

A month has now elapsed since that deadline has been duly issued a warrant.

"I have considered the application in relation to Saido Berahino and I'm satisfied that the process has been followed, warnings have been sent first class and the significant sum of £75,870 remains outstanding," deputy district judge Aneeta Borwick (Corr) said after Berahino failed to show up in court on Tuesday.
