Shonn Greene was arrested for leaving the scene of an incident (2 Viewers)

[Jerry Curl]

Titans RB Shonn Greene was arrested for fleeing the scene of a parking incident on Friday night.
Greene was parked in a handicap parking space in Franklin, Tennessee on Friday evening. When a parking enforcement officer tried to issue Greene a ticket, he got into his car, maneuvered around the officer's vehicle and left the scene. Greene was charged with a handicap parking violation, driving on a revoked/suspended license, reckless driving and resisting stop/halt/frisk. Green turned himself in Friday night after learning there was a warrant out for his arrest, and was released after posting a $2,000 bond. His status for Sunday's game against the Texans is unknown.

incident /= accident. Feel free to change the title of this thread.

 

[he_hate_me_too]

I bet Metteberger is thrilled if Greene doesn't play.

Bump Sankey?

 

[zamboni]

The handicap parking violation is particularly going to be scrutinized by the league.

[menobrown]

First time he's maneuvered around anyone in quite some time.

At the very least, don't park in a handicapped spot when your license is suspended.

Won't be surprised if the Titans cut him.

 

[cstu]

The most idiotic thing is he could have taken the ticket, paid it, and nothing would have happened to him.

 

[Donnybrook]

I bet Metteberger is thrilled if Greene doesn't play.

Bump Sankey?

Ya think? How good is Sankey at picking up the blitz?

 

[SameSongNDance]

Updating a previous report, ESPN Titans reporter Paul Kuharsky reports RB Shonn Greene's roster spot is not in jeopardy following his Friday night arrest.
Greene was arrested for failing to halt for a traffic officer. Greene was being issued a ticket for parking in a handicap spot. Greene (hamstring) is listed as probable for the Titans' Week 8 contest with the Texans.

 

[Bojang0301]

6 games

 

[johnnyboy8102]

I bet good old Jackie Battle would just it worked in more because Sankey isn't ready for dancing with the stars.

 

[oswizzle]

at least he didn't steal a shovel to cover himself full of decayed leaves and doo doo in an attempt to camouflage himself from the Law

For a glorified parking ticket? Teams won't be able to fill out their rosters pretty soon.

If "glorified" is another word for "driving without licence, reckless driving and resisting stop/halt/frisk" then yes.

Geez who cares. If he wasn't a famous fantasy football celebrity would we even be hearing about this?

It's still just a parking ticket, with bonus cash for the local community. Shonn Greene will never drive in Dilbert County again, and the local kiddie park gets a new sliding board.

Titans' Shonn Greene arrested on resisting stop charge:

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000416856/article/titans-shonn-greene-arrested-on-resisting-stop-charge

Excerpt:

Greene did not heed the officer's request to see a handicapped placard, entered the vehicle in question and drove away, almost hitting the officer, per the release. However, Greene was impeded by traffic and the officer attempted to issue him the citation once more; the release says that the running back then "sped away" again.

A good lawyer should be able to get the charges dismissed on the clear evidence that somebody else was impersonating Greene. After all, when have you ever seen Greene "speed away" from pursuit on 2 consecutive plays?

Awesome.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Whatever it was it was, and whatever the punishment, it was worth not having the cop search his car.

I think this is where you drop the mic.

 

[TartanLion]

Surely the officer in question has seen the Titans play and could have exercised a bit of common sense in knowing that Greene is handicapped and probably just left his pass at home ?

 

[ditka311]

Bishop Sankey is going to go off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow will start his HOF run!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Football! YAY!

You might be right!

do parking enforcement officials search cars now? seems like the bill of rights would disagree with this

 

[huthut]

Was he caught 2 yards past the accident?

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

at least he didn't steal a shovel to cover himself full of decayed leaves and doo doo in an attempt to camouflage himself from the Law

I now carry a shovel and a few bags of mulch in my vehicles at all times, just in case I have to hide from the law. It never fails.

 

[jvdesigns2002]

I have to say that this is one of the funniest threads I've seen on the Shark Pool in a while. However, in all seriousness--regardless of the incident stemming from a parking violation--the big news is that he basically ran from the authorities and apparently almost ran into them. Whether or not his roster spot is safe (as Rotoworld posted)--this has to warrant a fairly major suspension from the league, no? I just wonder if the personal conduct policy can be utilized fairly swiftly here.

 

[FreshiZ]

Sounds like his best, most elusive moves all year! This is the breakout we've been waiting for!

 

[Otis]
