Former NFL Star Justin Blackmon Arrested, Unable to Fit in Police Car

Former NFL wide receiver and Oklahoma State star Justin Blackmon was arrested in Oklahoma for public intoxication after police found him unsteady, slurring his speech, and wearing wet clothes. According to police reports, officers had difficulty transporting Blackmon because of his size, requiring two sets of handcuffs and a larger vehicle after he was unable to fit in the back seat of a standard cruiser. Blackmon, who weighed 230 pounds at the time of arrest—about 20 pounds heavier than during his playing days—told officers he was headed to 'Stillwater,' but admitted he did not live in the area when questioned further. Photos of his mugshot circulated on social media, with many noting his changed appearance since his NFL career. Once a top NFL Draft pick with a promising start, Blackmon's professional football career was derailed by repeated substance abuse violations and previous arrests. This latest incident marks another troubling chapter for the former athlete.
