Carlos Vela Arrested

 

Update- I guess Vela got off and no charges were filed against him, but the captain of the Mexican Team, Oswaldo Sanchez was charged with resisting arrest and fined $1,000.  Luckily Vela got off, that would have been an embarassing moment for a kid who hasn’t even been on the pitch yet

According to press reports, young Arsenal striker Carlos Vela has been arrested by police in Chicago.  After his Mexico team lost to Lionel Messi and the #1 ranked Argentinian team, Vela was arrested with the rest of teammates just a day later in Chicago. Vela denied that he did anything “illegal”, but this could be a huge blow to his and the teams confidence in the youngster.  We will keep you updated on this as the story develops.
