“He is not here in breach of his bail conditions and I’m not at all sure that he will come back unless required to do so by some sort of authority so to do that I’m issuing a warrant for his arrest.” During the incident Mr Bradley suffered a broken nose, broken teeth and serious effects on his mental health from the assault, which meant he lost his job as a security man at Dublin’s Gresham hotel and had to set aside his love of impersonating singer Elvis Presley. Ordering the warrant for his arrest in June last year, Sheriff Allan McKay said: “He pled guilty and was released on bail and he has now left the country in breach of bail. Stokes was given a two-year suspended sentence at Dublin Circuit Court for head-butting Mr Bradley in the shocking incident which occurred at Buck Whaleys nightclub in 2013. In a statement to this paper gardai confirmed the arrest and charge of both men - as well as the discovery of a quantity of a substance Gardai believe to be drugs which has been sent for analysis. Now the wanted footballer has turned up in Dublin - and is facing a charge before the courts here in relation to the alleged dangerous driving incident. The striker once infamously headbutted Elvis impersonator Anthony Bradley in a Dublin nightclub and never paid a court-ordered E230,000 to the victim. Following his failure to appear in court for sentencing, Sheriff Alasdair MacFadyen ordered a warrant for his arrest in the brief hearing. They were then released from the station and have yet to be given a formal date to appear in court in relation to the charge. Stokes is still wanted on the foot of an arrest warrant issued in Scotland last September in relation to an ongoing sentencing hearing that he failed to attend. Gardai believed the vehicle was driving dangerously, and after bringing it to a controlled stop, discovered Mr Stokes in the driver’s seat. Stokes (34), who is wanted in Scotland after failing to appear at a court sentencing hearing, was pulled over by gardai following the alleged incident in Crumlin in Dublin in the early hours of Friday morning.
