Marlon King caused accident after driving while holding an ice cream at the wheel
Former Boro footballer Marlon King has been jailed for 18 months for dangerous driving after a crash which left a motorist with a broken arm.
The striker, currently without a club after being released by Sheffield United last year, had pleaded guilty to a charge of dangerous driving at Nottingham Crown Court in March.
Sentencing King, who played 13 times on loan at Middlesbrough in 2009, at the same court yesterday, Recorder Paul Mann QC said: “I do not regard your case as merely impulsive or silly behaviour.
“It was aggressive. It was arrogant.”
The court heard King had been eating an ice cream at the wheel when he caused a three-car pile up on the A46 in Nottinghamshire last April.
The judge also handed King a three-year driving ban.
