Joelinton, who plays as a midfielder for Newcastle United, is expected to appear in court at the end of January after being charged with drunk driving.
At 1.20 am on Thursday, the police stopped and then arrested the Brazilian, who had been acquired by Newcastle for £40 million in 2019. He was subsequently accused of operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Two days after Newcastle’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Southampton, Joelinton is scheduled to appear in court on January 26.

The police said about Joelinton:
‘Shortly before 1:20 am today [Thursday] officers pulled over a vehicle in the Ponteland Road area of Newcastle and arrested the occupant,’ a police spokesperson said.
‘Joelinton Casio, 26, of Ponteland, has since been charged whilst above the prescribed limit for alcohol. He is due to appear before magistrates in Newcastle on January 26.’
Tuesday night at St. James’ Park, Newcastle defeated Leicester City 2-0 thanks to a goal from Joelinton, advancing Eddie Howe’s team to the Carabao Cup semifinal for the first time in 47 years. Last year, Newcastle named the Brazilian their player of the year.
