Romeo Beckham, 23, is fined after a police stop in Westminster, central London, following an allegation that he used his phone while driving. Multiple outlets report that officers spotted him at a red light with both hands on a phone rather than the steering wheel, including claims that he was scrolling. The incident is described as occurring last September, when police stopped his Porsche 911.
Several reports also say there was a dog in the car that was not properly restrained. One or more outlets describe the dog as “loose,” and others add that it was on the passenger’s lap and/or that the passenger had an unrestrained dog. Police action resulted in a financial penalty; the reported fine across sources is £440. One outlet also adds that he received penalty points on his licence.
BBC and other outlets attribute the stop to observations made by police and note the context of the dog being loose in the supercar. The reports do not provide additional confirmed details on the identity of the passenger.
