Jose Mourinho Reportedly Arrested After Police Try to Quarantine His Dog
Soccer: Jose Mourinho was reportedly nicked last night after failing to comply with officials who wanted to put his dog in quarantine.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has been arrested and cautioned for obstructing police after they tried to quarantine his pet Yorkshire terrier, according to reports.
Today's Sun claims Mourinho sprinted out of Chelsea's player of the year awards and rushed home to Belgravia after his wife called to tell him police had arrived at their home and were trying to take the dog away to quarantine. Officials feared the dog had been taken abroad, then back to Britain, without jabs.
But Mourinho, apparently unwilling to surrender his pooch so soon after letting go of his Premiership title, is said to have confronted the police before grabbing the dog and releasing it onto the streets so that they couldn't take it with them. The Sun claims it was still on the loose last night.
"A 44-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of obstructing police and was taken to a west London police station," said a Scotland Yard spokesman today. "He subsequently received a caution for obstructing police."
The spokesman said the dog was to be seized for alleged offenses under the Animal Health Act of 1981 and the Rabies Order of 1974.
