March 14th, at about 7:00am, 28 year old CLE Browns WR Donte Stallworth was leaving a hotel on South Beach in Miami. At the exact same time, 59 year old Mario Reyes, a construction worker, was finishing his shift and trying to catch a bus home. Donte hopped in his 2005 Bentley and max’d out doing 50 in a 40 down busy MacArthur Causeway. When he saw Mr. Reyes in the street, he flashed his lights for him to move; Mr. Reyes was in no rush to do so. Bam! When officers got to the scene, Donte Stallworth admitted:”I hit the man lying in the street.” Of course the officer smelled the alcohol on his breath and said his eyes appeared “red and glossy”. Donte blew a .126, well above Florida’s legal limit of .08. Donte will appear in court today, facing a DUI charge and vehicular manslaughter charges; facing a possible 15 years. He’s requesting to be released today on a $200,000 bond. Stallworth will be prohibited from driving while on bail and not allowed to drink alcohol and he has a midnight to 6 a.m. curfew and submit to random alcohol and drug testing through the NFL's substance abuse program.
Last month, Houston Texans Running Back Ryan Moats was rushing his wife and another woman to the hospital because his mother in law was dying of breast cancer. As he approached a red light by Baylor Regional Medical Center, he looked for traffic, saw there was none, and ran the light. He was immediately pulled by 25 year old Officer Robert Powell who jumped out of the vehicle pistol drawn demanding everyone to stay in the vehicle. Ryan’s wife Tamishia Moats and the other woman in the vehicle ignored the officer and Tamishia said:”my mother is dying…do you understand?” The officer continued to be ridiculous to Ryan Moats screaming at him: “I can screw you over, I’d rather not do that. Your attitude will dictate everything that happens.” Jonetta Collinsworth, 45, died of breast cancer before Powell allowed Moats to go inside. That Officer had been placed on a paid leave pending the investigation, and he has now resigned. Good. Jerk. Over Zealous Cops man. These are the pricks that give officers a bad name. Because there are some good ones. The Sherriff’s in Winston are GREAT. I’ve met some Officers in Winston that were cool too. A couple in the Greensboro area. A couple pricks in the Sherriff’s Dept in Guilford College – the coolest is Deputy Briggs!! I LOVE her! –
