Titans first round pick Derrick Morgan was traveling back to Nashville for the Titans minicamp on Thursday.
Titans 1st Round Pick Derrick Morgan Arrested For Driving On Suspended License
About 37 miles south of Chattanooga, he was pulled over for speeding.
Per Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean, Gordon Country police officer Raymond Holcomb said Morgan was going 91 mph in a 70 mph zone around 5:00 p.m.
That alone isn’t enough to be arrested. However, driving with a suspended license -- which Morgan was -- is plenty to be arrested.
Police brought him in for that, according to the report.
Morgan’s bond was posted and he was released from jail roughly three hours later, Holcomb said. Morgan has a court date scheduled on July 26.
Titans head coach Jeff Fisher wasn’t available for comment.
SB Nation’s Music City Miracles has done some digging and discovered Morgan’s response via his Twitter account. He claims he didn’t realize his license was suspended and it was from an unpaid ticket months ago. The notices, he says, were sent to an old address.
