Premier League - Pennant suspended for jail sentence
Stoke City winger Jermaine Pennant has been given a suspended jail sentence and banned from driving for three years after admitting multiple driving offences.
Pennant was given an eight-week sentence, suspended for 12
months, after admitting drink driving, driving while disqualified and
driving without insurance.
Earlier, Pennant admitted drink-driving home from a nightclub after being dumped by text message by his girlfriend.
The Stoke player was more than twice the limit when he got behind the wheel of his BMW to drive back from Manchester in the early hours of April 29, the Court heard.
The 29-year-old was "depressed and stressed" after months of turmoil in his private life and suffering taunts while in the nightclub, it was claimed.
