Marshawn Lynch arrested again?

[GERBE!!!75PTS]

We’re still trying to confirm whether the “Marshawn Terrell Lynch” who was arrested on February 11 in Culver City, California is the same “Marshawn Terrell Lynch” who plays football for the Buffalo Bills.

Our own Aaron Wilson called the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department and learned that the “Marshawn Terrell Lynch” who was arrested on February 11 faces felony charges of carrying a loaded firearm.

If it was the same “Marshawn Terrell Lynch” who plays for the Bills, two questions come to mind.

First, did Lynch immediately disclose the arrest to the team or the league?

Second, even though Lynch wasn’t suspended for his gulty plea to reckless driving after an alleged hit-and-run incident from which Lynch tried to run-and-hide, does this incident constitute the kind of repeat offense to which Commissioner Roger Goodell referred at his pre-Super Bowl press conference?

“Our rules and our policy are quite clear . . . that we’re looking to deal with repeat offenders,” Goodell said on January 30 in response to a question from Mike Garafolo of the Newark Star-Ledger as to the status of Giants receiver Plaxico Burress. “We may not wait for the legal process to conclude when we have repeat offenders. . . . When you start getting into multiple accusations, you are putting yourself in the wrong position. You are making the wrong decision. You are in the wrong places. At that point in time, you are reflecting poorly on the NFL, yourself, your teammates.”

It remains to be seen whether the NFL’s Marshawn Lynch is the Marshawn Lynch who put himself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Not really that big of a deal. This team doesn't miss a beat with Freddy in there.

Going from two very good backs who can each touch the ball 15-plus times per game to one is a blow.

In the end, though, it doesn't matter. Lynch or no Lynch, this team sucks.

What the fuck is wrong with someone carrying a firearm?

If you mention Plaxico Burress, you might as well mention Derrick Thomas in your crusade to ban automobiles too.

[kritter65]

Don't care.

[stepsukie]

It doesnt matter.

We got Dick!

Well its now been confirmed. Marshawn is a fucking moron. I'm tired of this guy and his antics.

BILLS’ LYNCH CHARGED WITH POSSESSION OF A CONCEALED FIREARM
Posted by Aaron Wilson on February 15, 2009, 3:42 p.m.

Buffalo Bills Pro Bowl running back Marshawn Lynch has been arrested and charged with felony possession of a concealed firearm, according to a press release from the Culver City Police Department. The announcement confirms that it was Lynch who was involved in this incident last Wednesday night.

According to a police announcement e-mailed to Pro Football Talk, Culver City police officers were patrolling the Fox Hills area of Culver City when they came into contact with three adult males in a 2006 Mercedes Benz.

After speaking with the occupants, they determined that one of the men in the car was Lynch, the Bills starting running back. A field investigation led to the “discovery of a loaded firearm.”

According to the report: “The officers determined the gun belonged to Lynch and he was arrested for possesion of a concealed firearm.”

Lynch was tranported to the booking center and was later released on $35,000 bond. Police officials said that the case will be submitted to the District Attorney’s office for filing consideration.

As Mike Florio wrote when he first reported about the arrest in two posts earlier today, Lynch could possibly face sanctions under the NFL’s personal conduct policy depending on his legal status and how NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell views this incident.

Time to sign Fred Jackson to a long term deal and draft someone new

[calr]

Repeat offense. He's going to get suspended.

[slowpokemcgee]

My guess is 8 games.

So he had a concealed weapon in his vehicle that was discovered during a DWB vehicle stop.

It's still stupid I guess, but it's no Plax or Pacman at a club. Thank god he didn't have any drugs with him in the car, I'm sure the cop was disappointed.

The issue is he has learned ZILCH from his last incident. He should have been suspended for that. Hopefully Goodell comes down on him hard this time. Fucking idiot.

[calr]

I expect a minimum of a two-game suspension and a max of four. Goodell gives guys the benefit of the doubt the first time around; after that, he rightfully punishes the player pretty hard. Lynch basically deserves whatever penalty he gets for this. How dumb can you be?

[budman90]

The issue is that it is illegal to carry a concealed firearm unless you have the proper permits to do so. And as far as I know, doing so is a very serious offense. Although, it's not as bad as shooting yourself with your own gun that you aren't supposed to be carrying in a night club.

But either way, he is obviously a fucking retard.

[LALALALALALAFONTAINE]

It's breaking an unjust law. I have mixed feelings on that.

[budman90]

It's still the law.

[Pondslider]

Just or not I have no sympathy for Lynch or anyone else with something like this. I think marijuana laws are pretty stupid too, but if a pro athlete gets caught with it I'll still call him a moron because when they have that much at stake they should be able to follow the law.

[m76]

lol at people that wanna cut him, you people are pathetic

yes he is a fucking idiot, but having a gun in your car you get cut or suspended 8 games pssht please

he'll be there on opening day
