“Puncheon was arrested in the early hours of Sunday morning and taken into custody after officers were called to the disturbance in Church Street, Reigate, Surrey Police said”

so he wasnt on the bench, and this event happened after the game....so that wasn't the reason for his absence was it.

He probably lost it on the night out realizing hes now not a first teamer anymore.

I expect he's been fitted up by the gendarmes. He probably got involved to stop a fight, took a weapon from someone who was proposing to use it, and was found with it on him when they turned up.

An offensive weapon can include an 'intended offensive weapon' i.e. anything intended to be used as a weapon.

If you suffocate someone with a pillow then the pillow is an offensive weapon.

If he picks something up and says 'I'm going to do you with this' and looks like that's a genuine possibility, he'd have committed everything he has been accused of. Potentially a fairly minor offnce.

He's probably picked up a bottle or a chair or something. Either way, it's ridiculously stupid if true.
