LONDON— English soccer star Wayne Rooney was charged with drunk driving and released on bail ahead of a court appearance later this month, Cheshire police said Friday. The 31year-old Everton striker was reportedly stopped by police near his home outside Manchester early Friday. He is due to appear in court on Sept. 18. Rooney is the all-time leading scorer for England’s national team and for Manchester United. He retired from international duty last month, and rejoined Everton this season.
