CHICAGO, ILLINOIS (June 10, 2008) Mexican goalkeeper Oswaldo Sanchez was charged with misdemeanor counts of criminal trespassing and resisting arrest after a rowdy incident in a hotel, according to Chicago police. He was released and ordered to appear in court July 11.Police said the arrest was made shortly before 7 a.m. in downtown Chicago, where Mexico beat Peru 4-0 the night before in a friendly at Soldier Field with Sanchez in goal. According to some reports, hotel guests complained about a loud party by players in the early hours of the morning.
“He was asked to leave the premises and he remained on the property after being repeatedly warned to leave,” officer John Mirabelli said. “When officers attempted to place him in custody, he resisted arrest.”
The incident should not have any impact on Sanchez's visa status for Sunday's World Cup qualifier against Belize in Houston. But a criminal conviction could complicate his ability to obtain travel visas for future Mexico games in the United States.
