Rams WR Demarcus Robinson arrested on suspicion of DUI hours after 'SNF' loss
Los Angeles Rams receiver Demarcus Robinson was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence hours after his team played on "Sunday Night Football."
Robinson was pulled over just before 5:15 a.m. on Monday in the Woodland Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, Highway Patrol said in a statement to Paste BN Sports. Officials said officers observed a sedan "traveling in excess of 100 miles per hour." The vehicle was stopped and the driver identified himself as Robinson.
"Officers observed objective signs and symptoms of alcohol impairment and Robinson was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence," officials said.
Robinson was cited and released.
The arrest came hours after the Rams lost at home to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night. Los Angeles' home stadium, SoFi Stadium, is about 20 miles southeast of where Robinson was arrested. The nine-year veteran had two catches for 15 yards and a touchdown in the defeat.
Coach Sean McVay acknowledged Tuesday the team was aware of the arrest. “We're gathering all of the appropriate information and I'll let the legal process take place," McVay said. "We'll proceed as we gather more information."
