Sports Seriously
Los Angeles Rams receiver Demarcus Robinson was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence hours after his team played on “Sunday Night Football.”
Robinson was pulled over just before 5:15 a.m. on Monday in the Woodland Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, California Highway Patrol said in a statement to USA TODAY Sports. Officials said officers observed a sedan “traveling in excess of 100 miles per hour.” The vehicle was stopped and the driver identified himself as Robinson.
“Officers observed objective signs and symptoms of alcohol impairment and Robinson was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence,” officials said.
Robinson was cited and was released.
The arrest came hours after the Rams lost at home to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night. Los Angeles’ home stadium, SoFi Stadium, is about 20 miles southeast of where Robinson was arrested. The nine-year veteran had two catches for 15 yards and a touchdown in the defeat.
The Rams declined to comment when reached by USA TODAY Sports. Head coach Sean McVay is scheduled to speak with the media on Tuesday.
