  "account": "Newcastle United's defender Amar Dedic faced police after being observed with bow and arrows at a Northumberland scenic area. The 24-year-old Bosnia-Herzegovina international was traveling with a friend when they were pulled over in a car. Concerned individuals alerted authorities, leading to the deployment of six police cars, including armed units. Dedic and his companion were stopped about seven miles from their initial location. Police investigated the vehicle, finding the bow and arrows but determined they posed no threat to the public. Dedic, according to sources, had no malicious intent and fully cooperated with law enforcement. Newcastle goalkeeper Mark Gillespie and former defender Paul Dummett, both 35, arrived at the scene during the police interrogation of Dedic. The incident occurred on Wednesday, two days following Dedic's participation in Newcastle's 1-0 home loss to Everton. The club has not released a statement, while Northumbria Police stated that the matter is under investigation and Dedic's name has not been disclosed. Newcastle United, currently 13th in the Premier League with 11 points from nine games, has not commented on the incident. The team is set to face Fulham on Saturday at 15:00 GMT before a break for the November international break. Dedic, who has played in 10 league and cup matches since joining Newcastle, has been selected for the Bosnia-Herzegovina national team for upcoming Nations League matches against Sweden on November 14 and Romania on November 17.",
