David Coote currently on deposit
COOTE is currently on deposit, according to the report, but has been charged with a category A offense after the recovery of video sequences by police officers.
This incident took place in February, while Coote was also dismissed by the PGMOL of its role as Premier League referee last year.
This follows a disclosed video of coote making rude comments on the former manager of Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp.
Other controversies have followed, with Sky Sports reporting on another video seeming to show Coote sniffing cocaine.
It remains to be seen what the result will be with this last COO incident, but it certainly has the potential to be something very serious if it is found guilty.
