Ben Stokes has been charged with affray regarding the incident outside a nightclub that resulted in his suspension from the England cricket team.
A statement from the Crown Prosecution Service read:
“The CPS was passed a file of evidence by Avon & Somerset Police on 29 November, 2017 in relation to an incident of disorder in Bristol city centre.
“Further material was subsequently received in late December. Following a review of all the available evidence, the CPS has today authorised the police to charge three men with affray in connection with the incident.”
Stokes is set to appear before a magistrate at a later date.
In addition to the statement from CPS, the Avon and Somerset Police also released one which said, “Three men have today been charged in connection with an incident of disorder on Queens Road, Bristol on September 25 last year.
“Having carefully considered the evidence, the CPS has today authorised Ben Stokes, 26, of Durham, Ryan Ali, 28 and Ryan Hale, 26, both of Bristol, to each be charged with one count of affray. They will appear at Bristol magistrates’ court at a date to be confirmed.”
