vikesfan89 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 What an idiot. It feels like this season is going to go off the rails 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AP_allday2869 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 (edited) I acknowledge that what I am about to say is controversial: But I think it is time to find Addison a new home. He has now proven himself to be a complete problem for this franchise, and for him to do this 8 days after his teammate was killed by a drunk driver is unequivocally unacceptable. Not to mention, he may be the biggest idiot I have ever seen. It pains me to say that, because he is such a great player. No one will respect him in the locker room now, and gives KOC and Kwesi and extremely tough decision to make. If KOC doesn't punish him to the fullest, or doesn't ship him off, I think KOC will run the risk of losing the locker room.

SemperFeist Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 For the lawyers in the room; Addison was arrested on suspicion of DUI, but wasn’t charged (or at least no report of a charge has come out). Is that common? No report of a blood alcohol level. No report of a refusal to cooperate with field sobriety tests. Is that common? Arrested at 11:36 and released at 1:36. Only two hours between arrest and release, is that common? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty extreme view, particularly since we don't have all the facts. But we're all entitled to our own views. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 According to a California Highway Patrol arrest report, police found Addison asleep at the wheel of a Rolls-Royce blocking a freeway near LAX. https://x.com/BenGoessling/status/1812663399563526645 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted July 15 Author Share Posted July 15 (edited) I have ZERO sympathy for any professional athlete that gets pulled over or arrested with any alcohol/drugs in their system, or doing generally reckless things. You have a ton of money to get a driver (private limo, bodyguard, etc.), and your entire livelihood is based on keeping your body in peak shape. No excuse at all. The level of immaturity and pure stupidity to be in ANY situation that risks your absolute gift of a career is just astonishing. Driving 140 mph in a 55 limit? I would cut him instantly. Asleep at the wheel on a freeway exit? Cut. Doesn't matter if he was drunk or not. This guy belongs in jail.

Not from California so I don't know their specific laws. In my area the only charges that require you to appear before a judge prior to a bond being set are felonies or domestic violence. 1st offense DUI is a misdemeanor.

It's possible someone could be detained for the investigation, and released pending results of a blood test. Not best practices imo but it's possible. EDIT: The fact that an arrest report was referenced earlier makes me think he was charged. Edited July 15 by Nnivolcm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Relax Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 In some states someone arrested will appear before a magistrate who explains charges, sets date for an initial appearance before a judge, and sets bail. In Virginia, most larger jurisdictions have magistrates available 24/7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
