Playing pro football not a viable defense for DWI...

A player for the Buffalo Bills (I'm pretty sure that's a pro team) found no fans in the law enforcement community of Montgomery County last night...Defensive tackle Ed Oliver Jr. was stopped, checked and arrested after his erratic driving was reported by another motorist...

The driver of the vehicle did have an open beer between his legs and appeared nervous. A Montgomery County Precinct 4 DWI Certified Deputy responded to the scene and performed a field sobriety test.

In my opinion the stupid looking tires that stick out far beyond the fenders should have been a separate offense, but that's just me......Ben

at least he wasn't like the two other NFL morons that got arrested for armed robbery at a party and used their own exotic cars for the getaway. They stole cash and watches....they used to make over a million dollars a year. now they are finding themselves kicked out of the NFL..effing thugs

Agreed...I read about that...The guy from last night seems to have accepted what was happening to him...Our DA has assistants on call to get warrants when a driver refuses a mandatory blood draw, but I didn't see any in the video, so it looks like this guy may have consented...A wise move if he plans to continue his career......Ben

Come to Scottsdale during spring training... Moronic pro players get arrested daily around here.

I haven’t been keeping up with current firearms laws in Texas lately, Ben, but doesn’t the guy have a good defense on the face of that charge?

If it was in the glove box or console he should be OK as long as he had no restrictions on possession of a firearm...If he was asked about any firearms in the car, and failed to disclose, he'll have a problem...If it was on his person without a CHL/LTC he'll have another problem...I haven't really kept up with the changing laws, but that's my understanding......Ben
