Report: Jaguars WR Justin Blackmon Arrested For DUI

by Dylan Murphy | 12:02 pm, June 3rd, 2012

Wide receiver Justin Blackmon, the 5th overall pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars in this year’s NFL draft, was arrested for “aggravated DUI” early Sunday morning in Stillwater, Oklahoma, according to the Payne County Jail.

Via Tulsa World:

“Blackmon, 22, was being booked into jail about 10 a.m., the jail reported. No further details were immediately available. According to Oklahoma law, an aggravated DUI is when the driver’s blood-alcohol level is .15 or more.”

This is not Blackmon’s first run-in with the law.

“In October 2010, Blackmon was arrested by Carrollton, Texas, police on a DUI complaint. Blackmon was driving a Chevy pickup north on I-35 after having attended, with three friends, a Dallas Cowboy game on a Monday night. Police radar registered Blackmon’s speed as having been 92 mph in a 60 mph zone.
As Oklahoma State was preparing for Big 12 road game at Kansas State, Blackmon attended the Dallas game without seeking permission from Cowboy coach Mike Gundy. Blackmon was arrested at 3:45 a.m., and Gundy responded with a one-game suspension of the prolific wide receiver.”

His career will either go in the right direction or the wrong direction. This is a great start in the wrong direction.

Totally blown out of proportion….Yes, it’s bad but if you have ever lived in Stillwater, you will see how easy it is to “go down the wrong path”. There is one taxi service with ??3?? cars to handle a campus of 24,000 students. No public transportation at night that he could have ridden on. I am not excusing his behavior; I am only trying to make a point that it is easy to get a DUI here.

The police zone in on these students to try to “make a point”. Thurman got a DUI about a week after he signed, also.

The police used to leave you alone if you were walking….not so, anymore.

And don’t think that you can ride a bike, either. I have seen the police pull over bicycle riders, also.

Arash Markazi You should have seen the smiles on the faces of Lakers players as Phil talked to them tonight. Even Kupchak was smiling.
