Chelsea forward Sam Kerr allegedly called police officer ‘stupid and white’ jury hears
LONDON (AP) - Chelsea forward Sam Kerr allegedly called a police officer "stupid and white" a jury heard Monday.
The 31-year-old Kerr, who is one of the top women's soccer players in the world, is on trial charged with causing racially aggravated harassment to Metropolitan Police officer Pc Stephen Lovell during an incident in south-west London, in the early hours of Jan. 30 2023.
The Australian captain, who is also her country's all-time leading scorer, is alleged to have become "abusive and insulting" towards Pc Lovell.
Prosecutor Bill Emlyn Jones KC told a Kingston Crown Court jury that Kerr and her partner, West Ham midfielder Kristie Mewis, had been out drinking when they were driven to Twickenham Police Station by a taxi driver who complained the passengers refused to pay clean-up costs after one of them was sick and that one of them had smashed the vehicle's rear window.
