Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Matthias Askew was arrested for a parking violation and resisting arrest. The 24-year-old Askew struggled with officers trying to handcuff him Saturday evening and broke away before he was tasered!
On top of all this, Askew was also charged with obstructing official business.
Bengals owner Mike Brown had the following, "We expect our players to be good citizens, as most are, and we hold them accountable for their conduct under team and league rules."
News flash Mr. Brown: Your players are NOT good citizens. How about a recap of your teams sickening offseason:
- Last month, receiver Chris Henry pleaded not guilty to charges that he provided alcohol to three underage females. He also faces a drunken driving charge in suburban Cincinnati, and is scheduled for trial Aug. 21 in Florida on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon.
- A.J. Nicholson, a fifth-round pick in April, was charged last month with burglarizing the apartment of a former Florida State teammate. He also faces grand theft and vandalism charges in Florida.
- Also last month, defensive end Frostee Rucker was charged with two counts of spousal battery and vandalism in Los Angeles. The third-round pick has denied the allegations.
Yup. Sounds like "good citizens" to me.
