Carroll Charged With Assault And Bailed Until January 2011
By Tyne-Talk October 18 2010
Newcastle United striker Andy Carroll appeared at Tynedale Magistrates Court this morning having been arrested and charged with assault on ex girlfriend Laurie Henderson. Carroll who is due to go on trial at Newcastle Crown Court at the end of the month is alleged to have been involved in an incident at Miss Henderson's house at 4.40am on Sunday.
Carroll, who has just signed a new 5 year deal at the club, was released by the court on conditional bail, after an hour long hearing. On the conditions that he resides with Newcastle United captain Kevin Nolan and his family in Ponteland, just 15minutes away from the complainant, and that he does not contact any prosecution witness.
Unfortunately trouble seems to follow Carroll, in the last two years alone he has allegedly been involved in 4 separate incidents;

What's more likely, that some "fan" is going after Andy or the ex is extracting some revenge? If its the latter, doesn't that help his defense? If she's nutty enough to torch his car then it seems more likely his incident could have been self defense. Maybe coming home at 4am set her off.
