Sad details emerge around NFL draft bust Justin Blackmon’s public intoxication arrest

Sad details emerge around NFL draft bust Justin Blackmon’s public intoxication arrest

Former Jaguars first-round pick Justin Blackmon was “unsteady on his feet, reeked of alcohol and was wearing wet clothes,” according to the incident report from his Saturday arrest in Oklahoma, per TMZ.

Officers reportedly were then “unable” to fit the ex-NFL wide receiver and former Oklahoma State Cowboy in the back of a cop car “due to his body size” and had to request a larger vehicle to take him to jail.

Blackmon, 35, was arrested early Saturday and charged with public intoxication in Payne County, Okla. An alleged mug sH๏τ states he lives in Ardmore, Okla.

The incident report states that Oklahoma State police received a call about a “larger black male” lying on the ground at 1:32 a.m. Saturday.

Blackmon had entered a campus building by the time the cops arrived, and when the cops encountered him, that’s when they noticed him wobbling and smelling of alcohol.

He reportedly told the officers he had been attempting to walk home, but the cops reported his words were “slurred and confusing,” according to TMZ.

Blackmon reportedly kept informing them he was headed to Stillwater, Okla., where the Oklahoma State campus is located.

When the cops told Blackmon that Stillwater was a place and not a specific address, he said he did not live in the area and “you got me,” per the report.

Blackmon then turned around and placed his hands on his back before being told he was being arrested, with the cops saying they needed two sets of handcuffs due to his “body size and the girth of his wrists,” per the report.

After the cops could not place him in the car on site, a second and larger vehicle had to be called to take him to jail.

His report listed him as 230 pounds, which is 20 pounds above what his Pro Football Reference page stated.

Blackmon lasted just two seasons in the NFL from 2012-13 after being picked fifth overall in the 2012 NFL Draft. He scored six touchdowns across 20 games.

He received a four-game suspension in 2013 for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy before later being suspended indefinitely for another violation of the policy.

Blackmon was arrested for marijuana possession in 2014, and the NFL denied him reinstatement for the 2015 season. He was later arrested for DUI in Oklahoma in 2015.

An ESPN report at the time said it was his fourth substance-abuse arrest, with Blackmon also being arrested in 2010 on a misdemeanor DUI charge and again in May 2012 when his BAC was three times the legal limit.

Blackmon entered the College Football Hall of Fame last year after tallying 253 catches, 3,564 yards and 40 touchdowns over three seasons with the Cowboys.
