Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has been arrested on suspicion of driving while disqualified and could be jailed for up to six months if found guilty.
The forward, who was banned from driving for six months on January 16, was arrested on Thursday near his home in Alderley Edge, Cheshire.
Tevez was allegedly at the wheel of a white Porsche Cayenne when he was held by police as a result of ‘information provided’.
He was taken to a nearby station for questioning before being bailed.
A spokeswoman for Cheshire Police said: ‘At 5.13pm yesterday police arrested a 29-year-old man from Alderley Edge on the A538 in Macclesfield.
‘The man was arrested on suspicion of driving whilst disqualified and has since been released on police bail.’
Tevez received his recent ban after pleading guilty to two counts of failing to furnish information relating to incidents in which another of his vehicles, a Hummer, was caught speeding. He also admitted not holding a correct UK driving licence.
The former Manchester United striker was previously stopped by authorities on the M60 in 2009 when he was caught driving without a licence and having windows that were illegally tinted.
On that occasion his car was impounded and he was given a prohibition notice by Greater Manchester Police.
On the field, the Argentinean striker has been struggling for form this season and has scored just nine times for City in the Premier League.
He is rumoured to be leaving City this summer after being linked with a move to big-spending French side PSG.
