Cops today released his mugshot after he was arrested over "public swearing and intoxication" on December 16 by the Washington Airport Authority.

Rooney, 33, looks tired with red eyes in the snap as he wears a bright orange top.

Rooney, who raked in £20million last year, paid a $25 fine on January 4,  reports.

He had been in Saudi Arabia on December 15 for the Riyadh Formula E Grand Prix before returning to Cheshire for Christmas.

England's all-time leading scorer, 33, quit Everton to head to Major League Soccer club (MLS) DC United in June last year.

A spokesman for Loudoun County Sheriff's Office said: "He was booked into the Loudoun County Adult Detention Centre on December 16, 2018, on a charge of public intoxication stemming from an arrest by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police (MWAA).

"He was later released on a personal recognizance bond."

It comes after the Ex-Utd star was embroiled in a drink-drive scandal in 2017 after he was caught behind the wheel with party girl Laura Simpson in Wilmslow, Cheshire.

Rooney said he let his family down after admitting being three times the limit when arrested - he had 104 micrograms of alcohol in his breath, the legal limit in the UK is 35 micrograms.

He was banned from driving for two years and ordered to carry out 100 hours of unpaid work.

After his arrest in the early hours of September 1, 2017, the striker was released on bail charged with "driving while over the prescribed limit".

It later emerged Rooney was docked two weeks of wages - about £300,000 - while with childhood club Everton.

He also paid a £170 fine and agreed to undergo a drink-driving rehabilitation that could reduce his driving ban.

Rooney's wife Coleen was pregnant with the couple's fourth child at the time and had made the announcement days before his arrest.

Simpson later revealed she had "kissed and hugged" the football star after they met in a bar before he drove her VW Beetle in Cheshire.

Former England captain Rooney is the all-time highest scorer with 53 goals for his country, and rejoined boyhood club Everton in 2017.

But he has now moved to the States with Coleen and their four sons while Rooney carries on his football career DC United.

Rooney recently made an appearance as a pundit on BT Sport on December 22 for their coverage of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first game in charge of former club Manchester United.

It isn't the first time Rooney's drinking has landed himself in hot water - in 2015, The Sun revealed how he had been knocked out in a kitchen boxing bout.

The star, who played for Utd at the time, was stuck by pal Phil Bardsley of Stoke City as friends filmed the wild lads’ night in.
