Crazy. My favorite line is the last one:
CHARLES ROGERS, IN JAIL Posted by Mike Florio on December 5, 2008, 8:05 a.m. EST It’s been a bad week for former Lions players with the last name “Rogers.” Former defensive end Reggie Rogers has been arrested again for DUI, continuing a string that dates back to the 1987 triple vehicular homicide for which he spent nearly half the time in the hoosegow that Mike Vick is doing.
And now it’s Charles Rogers’ turn.
Per the Detroit Free Press, Rogers has been jailed since Wednesday, on $100,000 bond.
The problem arises from a September 12 arrest, arising from a domestic incident. Charged with assault and battery, he copped a plea to a trespassing count, and received probation.
But then Rogers violated probation by testing positve for narcotics and “taking unauthorized leave from partial confinement” (whatever that means).
Rogers had been listed as a fugitive on the Oakland County, Michigan web site.
For the past couple of years, the former Lions wideout (inexplicably, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2003 draft) has been trying from time to time to get back into the game.
The best way to make that happen, however, is not to be behind bars.
Then again, there’s that whole “When in Rome” angle to consider. (Or, as the case may be, “When in Cincinnati.”)
