Skippy Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Disorderly Conduct is a BS charge that they toss around when they are just mad at you and don't have a real reason to arrest you, IMHO. I'm not saying this because he is a Steeler. I am saying this as I have been down this road personally. Squeegiebo can get him off though.

DocNiner52 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Unfrigginbelievable. What is with so many of these high drafted snot-nosed little jerks once they get to the nfl? They think they're hot fasto now and end up acting retarded. :doah: Maybe Ricky Williams could help him mellow out a little bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Cheezhead Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 By the way, NO ONE should care about arrests -- convictions matter, arrests don't (especially, as Skippy said, for something like disorderly conduct). Idiot cops wrongly arrest people all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menudo Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Steelers top pick Holmes arrested Miami police cite disorderly conduct Sunday, May 28, 2006 By Gerry Dulac, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Santonio Holmes, the Steelers' No. 1 draft choice, was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct in the South Beach area of Miami Beach early yesterday morning, a charge his mother contends is a case of mistaken identity because she said her son is in Columbus, Ohio. But, Miami Beach police spokesman Bobby Hernandez said it is no mistake. Holmes, a wide receiver from Ohio State and the 25th overall pick in the NFL draft, disrupted traffic and was verbally abusive to a police officer outside a South Beach hotel on Collins Avenue at 3:30 a.m.yesterday. "We got a positive I.D.," Hernandez said. Holmes was released from jail and did not have to post bail after signing a promissory note to appear in court when he is served a subpoena. Hernandez said police have to positively identify a person before they will release him on a promissory note. That is how they know the person they arrested was Holmes. But Patricia Brown, Holmes' mother who lives in Belle Glade, Fla., said her son is in Columbus, where he is attending school, and has not been home since her May 5 birthday. Belle Glade is approximately two hours north of South Beach. "That's news to me," Brown said when told of the arrest. "I talked to him yesterday. He's in Ohio." Holmes did not return a message left on his cell phone. Steelers spokesman Dave Lockett said, "We don't have any comment on it because we don't have any information on it." According to the police report, Holmes was observed walking in the middle of Collins Avenue in a trendy area of South Beach littered with outdoor bars and restaurants. When traffic became disrupted and came to a standstill, a police officer told Holmes to "get out of the street." According to the report, Holmes "said several offensive words" to the police officer and was arrested. "He was verbally abusive with the police officer," Hernandez said. Hernandez said Holmes did not appear drunk and was not cited for public intoxication. No date has been set for the hearing. Holmes attended the Steelers' minicamp two weeks ago, but he is not allowed to take part in the coaching and voluntary workout sessions because of an NFL rule that prohibits underclassmen from joining their team until either he or his class graduates.

budlitebrad Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 It's not as bad as firing off a .40 in a bar fight like Cory Rodgers just did the other night. Of course he is from Texas, so no one should be surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Still sounds like a bunch of BS to me. I may be tainted by my little brush with some ass hole cops and how they can abuse power when they feel like it. I'm not saying that all cops do this but I am saying that my research into the laws has me thinking that even though it would be in bad taste, I can scream F You at the cops and not be arrested for it unless I am trying to start a fight or something of that nature. Four letter words do not equal an arrest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something tells me that some cops have loose definitions of the word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
