It’s been a turbulent couple of years for former English International Paul Gascoigne as the troubled star has found himself arrested twice in the span of two days.

The former Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder was taken into custody along with another man by police called to the Blackwell Grange Hotel in Darlington last night.

The 42-year-old was later released without charge after being questioned on suspicion of a public order offence.

The men had been arrested the previous night on suspicion of being drunk in charge of a vehicle in North Yorkshire.

They were released on bail yesterday evening over the incident at a takeaway in Leeming Bar, North Yorkshire, but were soon back in custody after staff at the hotel called the police.

Gascoigne was freed without further action, but the second man, aged 40, was given a fixed penalty notice.

A Durham Police spokesman said: “At 8.10pm we received a call from the Blackwell Grange Hotel where staff reported an ongoing incident involving Paul Gascoigne and his friend, Michael Harvey.

“Both were arrested and taken to Darlington police station.

“Both were subsequently released. No further action was taken against Mr Gascoigne and the other man accepted a fixed penalty notice for a public order offence.”
