Paul Gascoigne bailed after arrest for drug offence
The 43-year-old spent the night in police custody on suspicion of possessing a class A substance. His arrest came just days after the troubled former Rangers and England star was warned at Newcastle Magistrates' Court that he faced jail when he admitted drink-driving.
Gascoigne was held at a house in Burradon, North Tyneside, but has not been charged.
