The 2008 NFL has barely ended, and its players are already getting in trouble. From AP-
Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch was arrested in Southern California on a weapons charge, police said Sunday.Lynch may in use of some jail time in order for him to get his priorities straight. In the meantime can I suggest he have a duel with this guy?Police said Lynch was arrested Wednesday night after officers approached him and two other men sitting in a 2006 Mercedes-Benz in this Los Angeles suburb and found a loaded firearm.
Lynch was arrested after officers determined the gun belonged to him. He was released that night on $35,000 bail.
*****
Lynch's arrest marked the second time in less than a year that he has been in trouble with the law.
In June, Lynch pleaded guilty to a traffic violation and admitted speeding off in his Porsche Cayenne SUV after striking a female pedestrian near Buffalo's downtown bar district on May 31. The victim, a 27-year-old woman from suburban Toronto, was treated and released from the hospital later that day after sustaining a bruised hip and cut to her thigh that required seven stitches.
Lynch said it was raining hard when he saw a woman dancing in the street and slowed to let pass, then continued on his way. He said he was unaware he had hit anybody.
A judge ordered Lynch's driver's license revoked but the player appealed and was allowed to keep his license.
