Stokes released from custody after being questioned over alleged assault... Babs-HH REPUBLIC of Ireland striker Anthony Stokes has been released from garda custody after he was questioned in relation to an assault. Mr Stokes (25) left Irishtown Garda Station at approximately 3pm this afternoon. Wearing white trainers, jeans, a T-shirt, and carrying a large black holdall bag, the Celtic striker got into a white BMX X5 series vehicle which was waiting for him. Mr Stokes (25) was being questioned in relation to an assault in a nightclub. He was detained under section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act and can be held for up to six hours. It’s believed that gardai showed Mr Stokes CCTV footage of the incident in the nightclub. Gardai had decided not to arrest Mr Stokes before the sell-out friendly between Glasgow Celtic and Liverpool on Saturday. During a visit home earlier this summer, it was alleged that Stokes had been involved in an assault at Buck Whaley’s nightclub on Leeson Street, Dublin. Ballyfermot Elvis impersonator Anthony Bradley (42) was treated for a suspected broken nose and chipped teeth following an incident in the nightclub. The alleged incident occurred several hours after the international between Ireland and the Faroe Islands at the Aviva. (independent.ie)
