Geno Smith was arrested for DUI (Old Thread)

[SantaClaraHawk]

Why even bring this crap up again?

I didn’t know he wouldn’t be charged until Mael showed it.

Why not? It cleared Geno's reputation, big times.

Because the charges were officially dropped.

Did he fail the breathalizer & then opt for the blood test because he knew he only had 1 beer?

he refused the breathalyzer while fighting with officersand was transported for an involuntary blood test.

Oh c'mon, some of you totally intimated that the officer for Jalen Carter's situation was totally manipulating the reports in Carter's favor, but now have no questions about this. Just wow.

The news came out today that he wouldn't be charged and that his BAC was less than half the legal limit, so I bumped it with that new info.

Maybe because he was exonerated?

I personally think it’s a legitimate reason.

 

[Maelstrom787]

Brings a hell of a lot of context to this tweet.

 

[AROS]

I did edit the original thread subject line to include (Old Thread) so people wouldn't think he was recently charged with a DUI. But I stand by Maelstrom's desire to update the thread as it is pertinent, real news, and ultimately exonerates him.

Actually the DUI was dismissed

 

[SNDavidson]

I'm guessing he was a. not a jerk to the officer, and b. has a nice legal team, I don't recall if Geno received punishment from the NFL, is there any risk we'll be rocking out with our Drew Lock out for couple weeks?

So, was it just the DUI that was dismissed or is he free and clear of all charges? It would seem that driving 94mph on an urban freeway (60mph speed limit?) would earn him at least a reckless driving charge. Same with refusing a BAC test.

He had to be restrain to do the legal blood test too. He also verbally threatened to beat the cops up.

Yeah, there has to be more to the story than just the DUI being dropped.

There's also the question if the league will step in and administer some discipline. If there's any truth to the reports, his behavior certainly warrants it.

 

[kidhawk]

Just for clarity, every article I've read says that there will be no charges, meaning everything is gone and he's clear as far as the legal system is concerned. As we all know, the commissioner can instill punishment without a conviction, but I'd think if they were leaning that way, we'd have heard something by now.

It was a bullshit arrest to begin with. We went over this already

Bullshit for famous people or for everyone...

Probably the reason he took a hometown discount, to get out of this mess. Thanks Jody

Bullshit for anyone and everyone. He was well below the legal limits for both THC and alcohol. He threw a fit because he knew he was sober and had every right to be pissed off. The huge backlog in obtaining the evidence by the state was the reason for the delay

This combined with the profile picture certainly does project a deliciously salty image
