The 31-year-old rider had just completed his third ride of the meeting when police officers arrived at Dunstall Park.

Gibbons, who regularly rides for Midland trainers including Ed McMahon and Reg Hollinshead, was met by the officers in the weighing room and arrested.

North Yorkshire Police said Gibbons had failed to attend Scarborough Magistrates Court last Friday to answer a charge of drunk and disorderly, an offence alleged to have happened in Norton, North Yorkshire, on April 8.
