Second Love Island hunk questioned by cops after being accused of stealing woman’s phone during night out
LOVE Island hunk Dejon Noel-Williams was questioned by police after he was accused of stealing a phone on a night out.
The semi-pro footballer, 26, who is set to star in the new series, was interviewed after a woman’s mobile was taken in London.
It makes Dejon the second Islander this series to have been quizzed by cops, after The Sun yesterday revealed Kyle Ashman was held over a machete attack.
Both were released with no further action.
ITV was aware of the incident with Dejon when he secured his place on the dating show, a spokesman confirmed.
He spoke to cops alongside Kettering FC footballer Harlain Mbayo, who was ordered to carry out a community resolution, which can involve an apology or compensation.
The dispute was sparked over payment for food and an Uber taxi ride.
Personal trainer Dejon last night told The Sun: “I was never arrested.
“I voluntarily spoke to the police to clarify the truth about what happened in this incident, with no further action taken.
“To stress, my intentions here were entirely honourable and it is very upsetting to read claims that suggest otherwise.”
The Met Police said: “On March 16 at 04:05hrs officers responded to a report of a robbery in which a phone was taken.
“An investigation was launched and two men voluntarily took part in interviews. The victim’s phone was recovered and has been returned.
“No further action was taken against the 26-year-old man.”
ITV added: “We speak to our Islanders in advance of the show in addition to rigorous background screening, including DBS checks.”
