FORMER Newcastle United striker Daniel Cordone has been arrested in his native Argentina after he was accused of threatening a wedding party with a gun.
Cordone, who scored three goals in 27 appearances for Newcastle in the 2000-01 season, was held along with two friends after a revolver was found in his car.
The incident happened when Cordone was driving behind a coach carrying fans of Alem, who the 28-year-old supports.
Members of the group allegedly threatened complained to police, who later apprehended Cordone and his acquaintances in Buenos Aires.
He was released from custody several hours later.
