Would a smack head on the street have escaped jail?

Would a smack head on the street have escaped jail? No is the obvious answer. Footballers get treated like royalty in this country. |

Former Everton striker Marcus Bent has been declared bankrupt in the High Court, capping a steady but spectacular fall from grace.
Bent represented a host of clubs during a 17-year professional career and had successful spells playing in the Premier League with Crystal Palace , Blackburn, Charlton, Wigan and Leicester as well as the Toffees. He last played in the top flight in 2012 for Wolves .
The former England U21 international spent the last years of his professional career playing in Indonesia for Mitra Kukar, but hasn't been registered at any club since leaving Southern Combination Division One side Wick in 2017.
And now he has been forced to declare insolvency, according to the public record, despite having once earned a salary topping out near the £1million-a-year mark.
In 2015, he was charged with affray and possession of a Class A drug after calling police to his home in Esher, believing there to be an intruder on the premises.
He was tasered at the scene by officers after he charged topless at them armed with a meat cleaver, before being apprehended and taken into custody. He received a fine and a 12-month suspended sentence.
The following year he was back in court, this time after being arrested for possession of cocaine at Chessington World of Adventures, where he received a fine.
