Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has been sentenced to 250 hours
of community service after pleading guilty to a pair of driving
offences. The Argentine has also been handed another six month
disqualification from driving and a fine of 1000 pounds after being
caught driving while disqualified and without insurance. Magistrate
Elizabeth Depares ruled that the 29-year-old 'had served a significant
proportion of his disqualification' when he was stopped by police, and
as such a community penalty was preferable to a custodial sentence.
Tevez's lawyer Gwyn Lewis stated that 'the whole episode ... has been
completely alien to (Tevez) and very frightening. He has full
understanding of the seriousness of this." Tevez entered a guity plea
after being stopped by police outside of Mottram Hall Hotel and Golf
Club in Cheshire on March 7 following an anonymous tip-off. When
stopped, Tevez told the officer: "I only live down the road. Two
minutes."
