New Arizona Cardinals linebacker Joey Porter has long been known for being irascible and excitable. Alcohol enhances those personality qualities. Alcohol does not, however, enhance one's ability to operate a motor vehicle. So when we tell you Joey Porter got drunk and got into his car afterwards, well, what ensued isn't exactly a surprise:
Joey Porter Finds Out Why Drunk Driving And Cop-Slapping Is A Bad Idea
Authorities say NFL linebacker Joey Porter has been arrested in Bakersfield on suspicion of drunken driving and accused of assaulting an officer and resisting arrest.
The California Highway Patrol says the 33-year-old player was confronted by officers early Saturday in a fast-food parking lot.
Porter refused to provide his driver’s license and began to roll up his window when asked to leave the car. Police say that when an officer reached to unlock the door Porter slapped the officer’s hand.
Porter eventually got out and complied with orders, placing his hands behind his back. He and a passenger were arrested.
Okay. So perhaps Porter should not have slapped the hand of his arresting officer. Or, perhaps the arresting officer should not have DISRESPECTED Porter! Wait, we’re told it’s the first option. Expect Roger Goodell to react to this arrest with a severe lack of amusement... or lenience.
