Former Premier League footballer Anthony Stokes has been arrested after a high-speed police chase, just weeks after police allegedly found £4,000 of cocaine in his car
Stokes, who was on Arsenal's books between 2005 and 2007, but only played one League Cup game before moving on, was arrested after an alleged police chase in Dublin in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

He was sentenced to two years in prison suspended for two years for a "nasty, cowardly attack" on a Dublin car park attendant in 2013, in which he broke the man's nose and teeth.Stokes pleaded guilty in 2019 to stalking his ex-girlfriend and her mother, getting an eight-month deferred prison sentence.
A further assault charge for allegedly headbutting someone in Dublin in January last year was dropped when a witness failed to appear.
