David Coote currently on bail
Coote is currently on bail, according to the report, but has been charged for a Category A offence after video footage recovered by police officers.
This incident took place back in February, while Coote was also sacked by the PGMOL from his role as a Premier League referee last year.
This followed a leaked video of Coote making foul-mouthed comments about former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
Other controversies followed, with Sky Sports reporting on another video appearing to show Coote snorting cocaine.
It remains to be seen what the outcome will be with this latest Coote incident, but it certainly has the potential to be something very serious indeed if he’s found guilty.
