Disorderly Conduct is really minor, nothing to care about here.

First round WRs are a risky proposition in today's NFL...
How many recent Super Bowl winners have one, and he was one of the primary reasons they won?

Santonio Holmes was arrested for disorderly conduct Friday night.

Steelers first-round draft choice Santonio Holmes was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct and taken to jail at 3:30 a.m. Saturday after a confrontation with police in Miami Beach, Fla.
The former Ohio State receiver was released from jail after signing a promissory note to appear in court to be arraigned.
Holmes said last night that he was on his way from a bar/restaurant in Miami Beach early yesterday and stepped off the sidewalk to avoid a gathering of people. A police officer yelled at him, Holmes said. A report written by the arresting officer said Holmes was obstructing traffic.
Holmes said he asked the officer why he yelled at him, and he was immediately placed under arrest.
"I wasn't trying to cause a problem," said Holmes, a native of Hollywood, Fla., who said he was in town to visit with his children, Santonio III and Nicori. "I'm upset about this."
The police report said Holmes was not cooperative with police after being warned to get off of the street on Collins Avenue.
The arresting officer wrote the report as follows:
"I observed the defendant walking in the middle of the road obstructing traffic. I gave the defendant a verbal order to get out of the street and the defendant began to say several offensive words and he refused to get out of the street. The defendant's actions caused a crowd to form and traffic to come to a stop. Defendant arrested."
A date for Holmes to appear in court for his arraignment has not been set. A Miami Beach police spokesman said it is routine for defendants to be released after signing a promissory note if they are cooperative after being taken into custody.
Steelers spokesman Dave Lockett, reached yesterday evening, said the team did not have a comment on Holmes' arrest. Holmes' agent, Joel Segal, did not return a telephone call.
The Steelers traded their third- and fourth-round picks to move up seven spots to select Holmes, who left Ohio State after his junior year. Holmes is not attending the Steelers' voluntary workouts, which began two weeks ago and run through June 8, because of an NCAA/NFL rule that prohibits a player from joining an NFL team until his college class graduates.
Holmes was in Pittsburgh on May 13-15 for minicamp and is expected to gain a grasp of his playbook while being absent from the workouts. He has not signed a contract with the Steelers, who open training camp July 28 in Latrobe.

Unfortunately for Holmes, in a financial sense, this happened to Holmes BEFORE he got a contract. Sure, Holmes has got to worry about what Cower's goona say...it's what the Rooney's say from here to training camp that matters financially.
Realistically: "Disoderly Conduct" is nothing new to Holmes:

After reading MKB's post...kinda sounds like a lame charge, too.

It shows a pretty major stupidity gene to be acting like a clown before you've signed a million dollar deal.

Doesn't sound like much here, a decent attorney can make this go away.

I think a one-year NFL suspension should be in order.

It will go away, but (like was posted earlier) I bet Pitt can get some edge with this when his contract is talked about.

I agree completely, but I think if I was in that window after being a first round pick and before having inked my contract, I would be watching tape, working out, and in bed every night by 10pm.

I was using some hyperbole. I wouldn't lock myself up, but I probably wouldn't be out on the street at 3:30 AM either.

Miami Beach police are currently in the middle of a Memorial Day crackdown. Gilbert Arenas of the Washington Wizards was arrested in another, similar incident.

Hmmm.....
Native of Holywood, FLA.
In town visiting his kids.
You would think the guy would (a) know the deal late night (i.e., don't do shizza to draw attention to yourself with the police), and (b) be home in bed getting ready for the next day's workout.
Where is Evilchin 72 defending this action...?
At least Chad Jackson would have had the sense to not get caught!

There's a HUGE thing down here this weekend on South Beach, etc. that happens every year and is the cause of the "police crackdown," as someone else posted. Makes the local news every year as human interest story and of people complaining about the cops. That could be the reason he wasn't home studying his playbook.

You're right, he would have heard the cops' footsteps coming and immediately dropped into the fetal position. Resisting arrest wouldn't have been an option.Seriously, though, I'm not going to defend this. It seems like a pretty minor infraction, but you have to have more sense than this. If you're a first-round draft pick, don't be at Miami Beach nightclubs at 3 AM until AFTER you've signed. If the Steelers do get a discount, however, it's not all bad, as long as this isn't a harbinger of things to come.

[best Mr. Rogers voice]San you say "Profiling"?
Good. I knew you could.
[/best Mr. Rogers voice]
As an ex-Miami resident who's familiar with Collins Avenue, I'd liken it to having a police crackdown during Mardi Gras and ticketing everyone who won't get out of the street.
I didn't know about the Black Beach Week scheduling "coincidence." Sounds like a big fundraiser for the Miami Beach Police Department. Still trying to pay off all the new squad cars from the last hurricane.
This is not news.
