Slow Down Young: Justin Blackmon Arrested For Aggravated DUI

It was not more than four days ago we were just talking about Nick Fairley’s most recent arrest and now this. Justin Blackmon, top receiver of the 2012 draft and Jacksonville Jaguars 1st round pick has been arrested on suspicions of DUI. This is not the best way to get a career off the ground.

Allegedly he blew a .21, so clearly he was in the wrong:

Talented receiver Justin Blackmon was arrested in the early hours Sunday morning on complaint of aggravated DUI, according to The Tulsa World. Blackmon was picked by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the fifth overall selection in the 2012 NFL Draft after a glittering career at Oklahoma State University.

According to a Payne County Jail spokesperson, Blackmon was taken into police custody in Stillwater, Ok. at about 3 a.m. local time. The law in Oklahoma states that “aggravated DUI” is defined as the driver’s blood-alcohol level being at .15 or higher.

There were talks of “character issues” surrounding your boy Blackmon going into the draft so its sad to say I’m not totally surprised. I just hope that someone lets him know that in the future he should call a cab if he’s going to get his drink on…
