      Brown then spat at the woman, causing her to pull his dreadlocks, before he slapped her twice in the face.

      He also had stints at Cambridge United and Colchester United before he was signed by Exeter in 2021.
      England-born Brown, who represents Jamaica at an international level, was Exeter City’s top scorer this season with 14 goals and nine assists.

      The five were stopped by the Uruguayan cops during a routine check on one of the men, aged 29, on June 24.
      Officers found that his two suitcases had hidden compartments containing six slabs of a white, powdery substance with a total weight of 14lbs.
      The police then pulled aside the rest of his group – three women, aged 26, 27, and 36, and a 35-year-old man.
      One of the women has been identified as former porn actress and model Mia Etcheverria, 27, who was once in a relationship with retired footballer Richard Morales.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      Morales, 48, made 27 appearances for Uruguay between 2001 and 2005 and played for Osasuna and Malaga during his senior club career.
      The five suspects have been hit with charges related to “attempted drug exportation”.
      Four, including Mia, are currently in custody as the police search for a sixth person in relation to the case.
      Mia’s lawyer, Pablo Casas, is claiming that his client “was unaware of the contents of the suitcases”.
      Most read in Football
      He told local media: “The conclusions that she collaborated, that she was aware of the contents, and that she simply passed those suitcases are incorrect.”
      Mia – real name Camila Navarro – from Las Piedras, was one of the main stars on Uruguayan adult channel Divas TV.
      She has two daughters with Morales, who, following her arrest, has said he will pay her legal fees.
      He said in a statement: “Nowadays, more than ever, my only priority is my daughters and their well-being, and I will protect them from any media exposure related to this issue.”
      The Ministry of the Interior of Uruguay said in a statement: “In the morning hours of Saturday, 24th June, personnel from the Carrasco International Airport Delegation, belonging to the General Directorate for the Repression of Illicit Drug Trafficking (DGRTID), were conducting checks in the check-in area of a flight bound for Madrid when they detected a passenger with a possible risk profile.
      “After verifying his itinerary, a routine inspection of his luggage was requested, which the passenger authorised. He was escorted to the inspection room while the three women travelling with him remained in the check-in area”.
      They revealed that the passenger was identified as a 29-year-old Uruguayan citizen whose luggage contained the six slabs of cocaine.
      “Furthermore, two vehicles used for the transportation of all these individuals were identified, and £770 and four mobile phones were seized from them”.
      The individual who officials believed was the organiser of the illegal activity was identified and an arrest warrant was requested.
      “The Justice system initiated a formal investigation regarding the passenger who had the slabs in his suitcase “for his alleged involvement in an offence stipulated in Article 31 of Decree Law 14, 294, in the form of attempted drug exportation”, the statement read.
      Two of the women and the second man identified at the airport were charged “for their alleged involvement in an offence stipulated in Article 31 of Decree Law 14, 294, in the form of attempted drug exportation as co-perpetrators”.
      And the third woman was reportedly charged “for her alleged involvement in an offence stipulated in Article 31 of Decree Law 14,294, in the form of attempted drug exportation as an accomplice”.

      For the first four individuals, pretrial detention was ordered, while the last woman was placed under total house arrest with an electronic monitoring device, all for a period of 90 days.
      The investigation is ongoing.

      Police and fire crews raced to the area and found the car in a ditch.
      Lt. Michael Simoneau, of Falmouth Police Department, confirmed to The Sun that Mr Berylson was cut from the wreckage but sadly died at the scene.
      He said: “The deceased vehicle operator from the fatal crash on Sippewissett Road on July 4, has been identified as John G. Berylson, 70, of Wellesley Hills, Ma.
      “The preliminary investigation revealed that the vehicle, a 2019 Range Rover was travelling south on Sippewissett Road when it lost control on a curve, and left the roadway.

      “The vehicle rolled over into a ravine and came to rest against a tree.
      “The cause of the crash remains under investigation.”
      Millwall had last night confirmed Mr Berylson had died in a “tragic accident”, leaving behind wife Amy and three kids Jennifer, James, and Elizabeth.
      The Championship club said in a statement: “John, who turned 70 last month, lost his life in a tragic accident on Tuesday morning.

      “John’s sudden and tragic passing will unquestionably impact all those who were fortunate to have known him.
      “He was a truly great man, incredibly devoted to his family, and a person of such remarkable generosity, warmth, and kindness.
      “He lived a storied life, one full of colour and joy, and was infinitely thoughtful of others with an endless desire to share his immense knowledge and experiences to help people.
      “Rest in peace, John, and thank you. You were loved and adored.”
      Mr Berylson first got involved with the London club in 2006 and appointed Kenny Jackett as his first manager in 2007.
      He oversaw the club reaching the semi-finals of the FA Cup in 2013, and then the quarters in 2017 and 2019.
      The Lions were also promoted to the Championship in 2017 under his ownership.
      Just weeks before his death, Berylson was given a standing ovation at the Millwall stadium.
      The Lions narrowly missed out on a playoff position after losing 4-3 to Blackburn Rovers on the last day of the season.

      Chester Crown Court heard how she text a friend after the alleged attack, saying: “I can’t stop crying.
      “It was a City player bro. Premier League footballer. That’s why he probably thinks he can get away with it.”
      The alleged victim, named as Woman Two, also told the friend she “kept saying no”, it was said.
      She said how there had been a “bit of a situation” as she asked the pal to call her and explained she had ended up at Mendy’s for an “after party thing”.
      Read more news
      The woman claimed the footballer “was a bit forcey”, adding: “I kept saying no, I don’t want to.”
      Mendy is accused of one count of rape and one count of attempted rape against two women.
      Jurors have been told the French international was previously found not guilty on other charges following a trial.
      The retrial heard how Woman Two was “forcefully” raped by Mendy in October 2022 after they met at a bar.
      Most read in Football
      She had been invited back to his home along with her friends, where they were later asked to hand over their mobiles, it was said.
      Woman Two later followed the star into a bedroom where the doors were locked behind her with an internal locking system, it is alleged.
      Jurors heard Mendy told her he would hand her phone back if he could see her naked, causing the complainant to tell him: “I do not want to have sex with you”.
      He allegedly added: “If you just take off your clothes. I just wanna have a look at you. I promise you I won’t touch you.
      “I just wanna see what you look like. I wanna see your body. I wanna see your t***. Your t*** are so big.”
      She then claims he raped her as she struggled against him and told him no.
      Mendy is accused of calling the woman “too shy” as he claimed: “I’ve had sex with 10,000 women”.
      Jurors heard last week how Woman One was allegedly targeted by the Man City star at a gathering in his mansion.
      She claimed he attempted to rape her after he followed her into the bathroom.
      The court was told she repeatedly asked Mendy to “stop” in French as he held her down.
      He then told her: “Don’t worry. Are you scared?”
      The woman later messaged a pal, saying: “I just got sexually abused, if that’s the right word, by Mendy.”
      She also claimed the footballer “wouldn’t let me go” in the text in October 2018.
      City spent a reported £49.2million signing Mendy from French side Monaco in 2017.
      He last played for the club on August 15, 2021, during their 1-0 defeat to Tottenham at the start of last season.
      In September 2020, City boss Pep Guardiola revealed Mendy would be out of the game for at least a month due to an injury.
      He was later suspended pending an investigation after being charged.
      Mendy denies one count of rape and one of attempted rape.
      The trial continues.
