It has been a rough couple of days for quarterbacks related to the Cleveland Browns. Rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel was involved in some kind of altercation with a fan who tried to hug him.
Now Tyler Thigpen, who was signed by the Cleveland Browns in May but released in August, has been arrested for a DUI on Sunday.
"…Thigpen told police he was confused, didn’t know where he was or how he had gotten there, according to the report.He told police he had been at Broadway at the Beach with friends, according to the report. One of the Horry County officers said Thigpen smelled strongly of alcohol.When asked, Thigpen told police that he had not consumed any alcohol, according to the report. The highway patrol officer instructed Thigpen to take three field sobriety tests and Thigpen refused. At this point the officer arrested Thigpen and took him to Myrtle Beach jail."
The best part of the arrest story, that Thigpen was in line at the Wendy’s drive-thru. Polices officers nearby noticed that the car hadn’t moved in 20 minutes and decided to check on it.
That’s pretty bad, but I don’t know if it is the worst NFL-fast food related arrest. Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe admits to smoking marijuana during a traffic stop and asked police if Sonic was open.
