Police arrested the striker in Newcastle in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The 20-year-old, who has only just been reinstated to first team training after a three-month exile in the Newcastle United reserves, was charged with being drunk and disorderly and will appear before magistrates later this month.
The forward was told to find a new club in the summer after several warnings about his discipline.
Police confirmed Ranger was questioned for more than four hours before he was charged and released on bail.
The arrest came just days after Ranger learned he will face court action for an alleged drink-driving offence and days before he is due to answer bail over an alleged attack that left a man fearing he had a broken jaw.
