The New York Post is reporting that Titans’ quarterback Chris Simms was arrested Thursday morning for driving while under the influence of marijuana. Apparently he was driving with his 8-months pregnant wife in the passenger seat.
Simms and his wife Danielle, both 29 of Nashville, were stopped as Simms drove their 2009 Mercedes Benz through an NYPD Manhattan South Task Force checkpoint on W. Houston Street at about 1:35 a.m., according to a source.
Simms reeked of marijuana and admitted to officers he had smoked earlier in the car, a source said.
“He was muttering,” a source told The Post.
He also had red eyes, flushed face and slurred speech, sources added.
No drugs were found on Simms or in the car, and his wife, Danielle, was allowed to take the car home.
Simms was arrested and spent this morning getting booked.
He is currently awaiting arraignment at Manhattan Criminal Court on charges of operating a motor vehicle while impaired by marijuana.
The misdemeanor charge carries a maximum fine of $1,000 and up to one year in jail.
Hey, why not take a marijuana-induced joyride with your pregnant wife when your NFL career is hanging on by a thread? Makes perfect sense.
The Titans are having one hell of an offseason. Chris Johnson is pissed about his contract, Vince Young is punching people in strip clubs and now the highly valuable Chris Simms is getting pulled over for what can only be described as being a f**king moron.
