alex song headed to jail ?

Alex Song has added to Arsenal's troubled summer after being caught up in a late-night bar brawl

The 23-year-old midfielder was charged with malicious wounding after being accused of attacking a student while on holiday in his home town of Douala in Cameroon last month.

Song's representatives told a court hearing he did not touch the student but he faces two years in prison if found guilty.

The revelation comes as Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger wrestles with the prospect of Samir Nasri, Theo Walcott and Cesc Fabregas following Gael Clichy out of the Emirates.

Song has not been arrested and does not have to appear at a court hearing on August 18.

The alleged victim Ludovic Achille Mouaha told an initial hearing: 'I was with my girlfriend. She went to the bathroom but when she hadn't come back after 15 minutes I went to see if something had happened.

'Two bodyguards blocked my way telling me I couldn't use it because Alex Song was inside.

'He then came out and was visibly angry. I ended up in a drain and afterwards went to hospital.'

A representative of Song told the judge: 'Some fans asked for his autograph including a young woman.

'The plaintiff later caused a scuffle and Alex's bodyguards reacted.

'But at no time did Alex lay a hand on the plaintiff.'

'But at no time did Alex lay a hand on the plaintiff.'

On this basis I guess it would be difficult for Song to end up in jail.
He is responsible for his bouncers but this could just be another 'fill blank sports pages' story.
After all, wasn't there a video clip of Stevie Gerard actually assaulting someone in a bar and he somehow got away with it...

yeah could be although their much stricter in Cameroon

Would he get a prison sentence for a first offence?

Why does he need his own private bathroom?

Other than that it's nothing unusual. Scraps happen and if it was a regular scuffle in a bar it wouldn't get the time of day.

It's his second offence. The first one was that barnet he had last year
