According to 10News.com, San Diego Chargers’ wideout Vincent Jackson was arrested early Tuesday morning on suspicion of DUI.
CHP Officer Ray Scheidnes said Jackson failed sobriety tests shortly after 2 a.m. on state Route 52, west of Interstate 805. He said he didn’t know Jackson’s blood alcohol level. Jackson was driving a white GMC Yukon and was the only person in the vehicle, according to the CHP.
The Sheriff’s Department said Jackson was booked at 4 a.m., and posted bail and was released at 5:50 a.m.
Jackson was on probation for a previous DUI arrest, CHP Officer Brad Baehr said.
Chargers general manager A.J. Smith said he was aware of Jackson’s “off-the-field issue.”
“Obviously we’re disappointed,” Smith said. “We take these issues very seriously. Moving forward, we will monitor the situation and have no further comment.”
This is exactly what the Chargers need days before the biggest game of the season. Everyone makes mistakes, but how hard is it to stay home until the season is over with? Or if you want to go out, hire a driver to take you home? Considering most teams practice on Wednesdays, this is incredibly irresponsible on Jackson’s part, not too mention the fact that he drove drunk. This isn’t fair to his teammates.
