This Exists: NFL Player Arrested For Possessing Bottle Of Viagra

Former Florida Gator and current Oakland Raider Louis Murphy was arrested for possession of performance-enhancing drugs early on Sunday morning. But they’re not the kind of performance-enhancing drugs you’re thinking of (badum-ching!).

Police found an unmarked bottle containing 11 Viagra pills in Murphy’s Cadillac Escalade, and charged him with possession of a drug without a valid prescription, failure to obey a police officer and resisting arrest without violence, all of which are misdemeanors.

Murphy was asked by Gainseville police to pull over after he was spotted with his “stereo playing loudly.” Instead of pulling over, however, Murphy just sort of kept driving, until he got to a parking lot, got out of his car, and started walking away.

Murphy was told to stop by the arresting officer, at which point he asked why he was being pulled over. He refused to show ID, so he was put in handcuffs (Murphy refused at first, and it took three officers to do this).

Why was Murphy so resistant? Well, besides the fact that he was apparently pulled over for playing his music too loud, and I’m not entirely sure that’s against the law, he may have been embarrassed about the Viagra. He allegedly told one of the officers he took the label off his bottle “because he did not want his girlfriend to know he had a prescription for [the Viagra].”
