Apparently Ohio State offensive tackle and NFL draft prospect Alex Boone has some issues to work out after being arrested on Sunday night for everything from jumping up on car hoods to yanking on a tow truck cable.
Ohio State offensive lineman Alex Boone was arrested after being subdued with a Taser during an alleged drunken tirade.
When they arrived, the 6-foot-8, 312-pound tackle had been jumping on car hoods, yanking on a tow truck cable and trying to break a window, said sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino.
Boone ran away from deputies and was found hiding underneath a patio, authorities said. Boone was combative and uncooperative and had to be taken down with a stun gun, Amormino said.
“He was yelling obscenities at deputies and had a strong smell of alcohol,” Amormino said. “His blood-alcohol level was at least three times the legal amount.”
Boone was taken to a hospital and then to a jail medical ward, where he remained. He had not been booked yet.
Boone, who was selected All-Big Ten this year, could be selected in the NFL draft in April. He just went from being a fifth or sixth rounder to being undrafted. I hope the drinks were worth it.
