Ex-Liverpool Winger Jordon Ibe to Appear in Court After Airport Arrest
Former Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe has been charged with actual bodily harm following his arrest at Luton Airport on January 30, 2026. The 30-year-old was taken into custody after arriving in the UK and has since been released on bail. He is scheduled to appear at Croydon Magistrates' Court on March 6.
The charge relates to an alleged assault that took place on December 14, 2025. According to the Metropolitan Police, Ibe was arrested immediately upon landing at the airport as he had returned to the UK for a separate court case.
Ibe, who made 41 appearances for Liverpool after joining in 2012, currently plays for Lokomotiv Sofia in Bulgaria's First League, having signed an 18-month contract in November 2025. Before his move to Bulgaria, he spent several years playing non-league football in England following spells at Derby County, Birmingham City, and Bournemouth, where he made 92 appearances between 2016 and 2020.
In a separate legal matter, Ibe admitted to possessing a document for use in fraud. He had used a fraudulent document at a pharmacy in May 2024 to obtain Zolpidem, an insomnia medication. When he returned four days later with the same document, it was seized by pharmacy staff. He was fined £230, plus £85 in court costs and a £73 victim surcharge at Highbury Corner magistrates court.
The former England under-21 international's court appearance comes as he attempts to continue his professional career abroad.
