Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton was cleared today of criminal damage.
The former Manchester City player, 25, was found not guilty at Liverpool Magistrates' Court of vandalising a taxi after a night out in March last year.
The player, who was last week jailed for six months for admitting assault and affray, left court to return to prison after a half-day trial.
