Soccer's Hugo Lloris Pleads Guilty to Drunk Driving After Pukey Arrest
Soccer's Hugo Lloris Pleads Guilty to Drunk Driving ... After Pukey Arrest
You could say Hugo Lloris was caught green handed ... because prosecutors say the soccer superstar puked on himself the night he was arrested for drunk driving.
The captain of the World Cup champion France soccer team pled guilty in a British court Wednesday morning stemming from an August 24 arrest.
During the hearing, prosecutors detailed the events of the evening -- and it's clear, dude was HAMMERED.
Officials say the goalkeeper was pulled over in his Porsche at 2:20 AM after cops noticed he was "not moving smoothly, and was travelling at a slower speed than expected."
He almost hit several parked cars and then ran a red light.
When cops pulled him over, "Officers observed his speech was slurred, he was helped from the vehicle by an officer, he was unstable on his feet, and there was evidence of vomit at the scene."
Gross.
A breathalyzer showed his blood alcohol was more than TWICE the legal limit.
Ultimately, the 31-year-old Tottenham star was hit with a $65,000 fine and his license will be suspended for 20 months.
His attorney issued a statement saying Lloris didn't intend to get drunk that night -- but fans at a restaurant kept buying him drinks.
The attorney also said, "On July 15 he was arguably the proudest man on the planet. Just 40 days later, he was arrested. He experienced the indignity of being handcuffed and put in a police station overnight. The spectacular fall from grace is not lost on Mr. Lloris."
