Controversy

Cleveland was arrested and charged with grievous bodily harm after an alleged altercation at the 21st birthday party of ex-Hollyoaks' actress Gemma Atkinson in Rochdale. He appeared in court on 25 September 2006, entering a not guilty plea. His trial was subsequently halted, however, when new evidence emerged which cast doubt on the reliability of a witness for the prosecution and the case against him was eventually dismissed on 18 January 2007.[1]
