A sports view from the left coast
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Louis Murphy became the third Raiders player to be arrested this offseason. Murphy, a former Florida Gator, was arrested in Gainesville and charged with possession of a drug without a valid prescription, failure to obey a police officer and resisting arrest without violence. Murphy joins offensive lineman Mario Henderson and running back Michael Bush as arrested Raiders. Henderon was arrested on a concealed firearm charge and Bush was arrested for DUI.
I'd have to imagine Murphy's will qualify as the most "embarrassing" of the three arrests thus far. Murphy was apparently pulled over for playing music too loudly. Murphy drove on to a city parking lot and started to walk away with his passengers. After refusing to be arrested, three Gainesville cops finally got him in custody. During a subsequent search of his car, the police found a bottle containing 11 Viagra pills. Murphy did not have a prescription, although he claimed it was just to prevent his girlfriend from knowing about it. The jokes can really write themselves at this point.
