Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was arrested early Monday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence, just hours after his team’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football.
Incident Details
According to law enforcement sources, the 29-year-old was pulled over on a Los Angeles freeway shortly after 5 AM when officers allegedly observed his white Dodge sedan speeding at over 100 MPH. During the traffic stop, police reportedly noticed signs of impairment, prompting suspicion that Robinson was under the influence of alcohol.
Robinson refused to perform a field sobriety test, authorities say. He was subsequently arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor DUI and transported to a nearby station for processing.
The wide receiver identified himself to officers as an L.A. Rams player, according to the report. After being cited for the offense, Robinson was released to a responsible party.
Response From Robinson and the Rams
As of now, neither Robinson nor the Los Angeles Rams organization has issued a public statement regarding the arrest. Attempts to reach the team for comment have not been successful.
Background on Demarcus Robinson
Robinson, who joined the Rams in 2023, has been a prominent figure in the NFL since his debut in 2016 with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he won a Super Bowl in 2020. Known for his contributions as a reliable wide receiver, Robinson’s arrest marks a potential blemish on his professional career.
Legal Implications and Team Reactions
The NFL and the Rams are likely to monitor the situation closely, as league policies and team regulations often address player conduct off the field. DUI arrests can lead to disciplinary actions, including fines or suspensions, depending on the findings of the investigation and any legal proceedings.
