Ex-Celtic star Anthony Stokes facing cocaine possession and dangerous driving charges

Ex-Celtic star Anthony Stokes has appeared in court after being charged in connection with drug possession and dangerous driving offences. The former striker has been remanded on continuing bail following his appearance at Dublin District Court on Friday, February 3.

The ex-Premier League player, of Dundrum, South Dublin, is charged with having cocaine for sale or supply, simple possession of the drug and four counts of dangerous driving after he was allegedly pursued by gardai between Crumlin and Chapelizod in Dublin last month, the Irish Mirror reports.

Garda Radoslaw Konczewski told the court he had further charged Stokes with four extra motoring charges of having no driving licence, no insurance, failing to produce his driving licence and failing to produce insurance within ten days of allegedly being stopped on January 6.
