ANOTHER RUN-IN WITH POLICE, JOEY? EXCLUSIVE.

Byline: by JEREMY ARMSTRONG

SOCCER thug Joey Barton was in trouble with the law again yesterday after being stopped by police at his training ground.

Barton, 26, dubbed The Rogue in a Range Rover, was pulled over outside Newcastle United's Little Benton ground by two squad cars. Officers made him get out and quizzed him for several minutes before he was allowed to drive off in his pounds 75,000 silver motor.

Northumbria Police said: "We are investigating whether an offence has been committed."

It comes two weeks after the Daily Mirror filmed Barton running a red light in Newcastle.

Police are looking at the footage, which also shows Barton driving through four no-car lanes and past 14 no-car signs as he raced to an appointment with his probation officer.

Barton was recently freed from jail for beating a teenager. He was also given a suspended sentence for an attack on former Manchester City team-mate Ousmane Dabo.

The teenager is now suing the pounds 80,000-a-week midfielder, as is a former Manchester City trainee he burned with a cigar.
