Bannan arrested following M1 car crash (now suspended by AVFC)

[TimTheVillain]

Hmmmm wait and see what transpires.

He seems like a homely sort to me though.

man. When it rains it pours. Let's hope he's proved to be innocent because more negative news is the last thing we need as a club right now. And especially from one of the few glimmers of light we've had this season.

Wasn't Pat Heard teaching him to drive? If true it looks like he's emulating Merson instead of Heard.

Can I remind some posters that no one has been found guilty yet in a court of law and as far as we know charges may well be careless driving rather than anything else at this juncture.

[PaulTheVillan]

Typical

[PeterWithesShin]

Exactly the same as I posted on the Merson thread, if either BB or Collins are guilty of drink driving, bang them up for a few years.

[Dante Lavelli]

With the money they earn, if they had been drinking they could easily pay for a taxi to where ever they wanted to go, so they'd be nuts to drive.

To clarify the reason for both being arrested.....
Single vehicle crashes and occupants are nowhere to be found, search of area commenced and 2 males located in the vicinity, both are under influence and one is the registered keeper of the crashed vehicle. Both deny being the driver at the time of the crash and both provide positive breath tests. Both are arrested on suspicion of drink drive and taken to custody to undergo station breath test procedure.
Both will remain in custody until sober enough for interview.
Both may be bailed to ...
a) await results of blood samples (if the custody result is between 40 - 50 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath).
b) appeal for witnesses/complete enquiries into the collision to identify who was driving.

I would reserve judgement until we see if either are charged with any offences yet. We don't know the full story.

He was driving a black range rover at bodymoor last month when my lad got his autograph

[hipkiss92]

Can he actually reach the pedals?

[Ryu]

Well he's taller that Alan Wright, and he could reach the pedals of his Ferrari...

At a stretch.

[London Villan]

Bless, he's turning into a proper Premiership Footballer...

Well I've read somewhere it was a range river that's crashed.

He will just lose his licence, he won't get banged up will he?

Edit: I read it in the opening post. Ha ha

IF the reports of him and Collins leaving, both being over the limit and the possible action of not supplying who was driving are all true, that is three very serious offences. But as D.Boy is a Plod, I'll expect he could answer this better once we know if (and for what) charges are applied.

I've lost a lot of respect for Bannan after this, there's no excuse for drink driving.

What happened to the principle of presumption of innocence?

Very true but it's stories like these that make you worry Bannan could go the same way like Lee Hendrie if he isn't careful.
