Former Premier League Striker Andy Carroll Charged with Breaching Non-Molestation Order
Former England and Premier League striker Andy Carroll, 36, has been formally charged with breaching a non-molestation order, following his arrest at Stansted Airport in April. The alleged offences are understood to stem from an incident that occurred in March.
Carroll, who has previously played for top-flight clubs such as Newcastle United and Liverpool, was reportedly apprehended by law enforcement officers shortly after disembarking a flight from France. According to reports from the time, Border Force officers at passport control flagged an issue, leading to the involvement of the police. He was subsequently questioned and held for a brief period.
An eyewitness described the scene, noting that the arrest caused a considerable commotion due to the presence of numerous other passengers in the vicinity.
Essex Police confirmed the charge, stating: “A man has been charged with breaching a non-molestation order. Andrew Carroll, 36, of Epping, was arrested on April 27 and the alleged offences relate to an incident in March. He is due to appear at Chelmsford magistrates’ court on December 30.”

He is currently playing for Dagenham and Redbridge, a non-league club competing in the National League South. Carroll joined the Essex-based side in the summer, marking his return to English football after spells with French clubs Amiens and Bordeaux.
Personal Life Developments
In his personal life, Carroll is currently in a relationship with make-up artist Lou Teasdale, 41. This relationship emerged after his separation from his estranged wife, Billi Mucklow, in 2024. Carroll and the “TOWIE” (The Only Way Is Essex) star Billi, 37, ended their marriage in July of the previous year, following a two-year union described as turbulent. Divorce proceedings were initiated in September of the current year.
