Per Sky News, Firmino was pulled over and breathalysed by police in the early hours of Christmas Eve in Liverpool city centre.
He briefly drove on the wrong side of the road, and his lawyer, Michael Hogan, explained "the layout around Hanover Street near the bus station is confusing," per Joe Thomas and Dan Kay in the Liverpool Echo.
The report added Mr Hogan's references to the fact that Firmino's house was "targeted by a group of criminals" the day before he was stopped by police, and the Brazil international's family were subsequently advised to move to a city centre hotel, causing "considerable anxiety and distress."
The Echo's James Pearce relayed Firmino's comments after Wednesday's proceedings:
The forward is likely to be back in action for Liverpool on Saturday when the Reds take on Hull City in the Premier League.
