Denver's Maroney arrested

Laurence Maroney
Denver Broncos running back Laurence Maroney was arrested Monday night by St. Louis police and is being held on unlawful weapons and drug charges, according to KMOV.com.

The 25-year-old St. Louis native was arrested with three others after being pulled over during a traffic stop.

Maroney's publicist told KMOV.com that the Broncos running back was not involved in a high speed car chase and that Maroney just happened to be behind the car "by pure coincidence."

Maroney was traded by the New England Patriots to the Denver Broncos during the 2010 season.

He only appeared in four games for the Broncos, racking up just 74 yards on 36 carries.

Y'know, you can't buy this kind of publicity.

Heh. LMAO

Enh, he won't be around in 2011... failed McD acquisition.

He was unlawfully arrested, apparently:

priceless, just priceless

Maroney....more like Moroney.

I think possession of firearm while drunk or high equaling unlawful use of weapon is a new Missouri law.

They may not charge him if he did not admit to smoking and did not take a test.

If he was a passenger and not driving, he would have less reason to take a voluntary test since the implied consent law would not apply to the passenger. but the article said the police are applying for warrants, so they may be requesting a court ordered drug test.

It would not be an "unlawful arrest" if the smell was in the air.

Are there any Broncos left who haven't been arrested in the past year?

Most of the team actually.

what did they trade for him?

a 4th?

Googled and found this from July 2010: (most over the last decade)

Here is a list of the top 10 teams by the amount of arrests over the last 10 years. Keep in mind that if a player gets arrested 5 different times it counts as 5 arrests. However, if he was charged with 2 or more offenses, it only counts as one arrest.

1. Cincinnati Bengals: Total arrests: 32
2. Minnesota Vikings: Total Arrests: 30
3. Denver Broncos: Total Arrests: 25
4. Jacksonville Jaguars: Total Arrests: 25
5. Kansas City Chiefs: Total Arrests: 25
6. Miami Dolphins: Total Arrests: 25
7. Tennessee Titans: Total Arrests: 25
8. San Diego Chargers: Total Arrests: 23
9. Cleveland Browns: Total Arrests: 20
10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Total Arrests: 19

too much

Let's see if Horse Face will Tweet about this.

AFC rules!

No big deal. We don't need a backup because Moreno will run for 2,500 yards in 2011 /knowmo

Oakland missing from this list makes me LMAO.

pats got a 3rd for moss and a 4th for a worthless RB....they must dabble in black magic

Yes... they do.

Hmmm...

A 7th round FB got busted with pot

Jared Allen had 2 DWIs

Warfield had two also, I think

LJ had several run-ins with the law, though I think he was only convicted of 1.

Can't remember the other ones.

Then those don't count. Obviously.

If you are talking all time, you have to think that the Tamarick Vanover one was peculiar.

Wut?

I was just surprised it was so high.

It says over the last 10 years. When did the Vanover and Bam Morris things go down?

List is a farce. Just show individual pllayers per team.

And how many of the guns were morony saying were his?? Hopefully this ends his career, but staying on the donks would be punishment for them so I am torn.

I guess clicking the link would have been a good idea. :doh!:

I forgot about the training camp when Siavii, Wesley and Tynes were all arrested. LMAO

No good deed goes unpunished -

He was gonna be Leonard Little's Designated Driver

He is a free agent and probably won't be resigned because Deangelo Williams is probably going to sign with Denver because we hired John Fox.

We can only hope.

DeAngelo would be good in Denver... I like the idea of him and Moreno, with that talented young OL. We're keeping the RB coach and McCoy - all good and bringing in the OL coach from CAR. I like the upside if they can lure Williams...

Here you go. You can search every team for every arrest since 2000.

when tynes crawled on top of the speaker and "WOULDN'T COME DOWN!!!"

LMAO

Pretty badass to have your kicker arrested.

what is it without Eric Warfield, Larry Johnson or Jared Allen?

currently, we don't have any players that matter that have been arrested

16

By the way, they list Andre Rison for three but one of them was after the Chiefs released him.

Maroney probably tried to run from the cops, but went side-to-side and the cops tackled him after he only got two yards.

I'm guessing the Vikings are there because of the Love Boat scandal?

Maroney was the worst running back I have seen since LJ was mailing it in. He would just run up the midde and fall down.

LOL

Did tynes get arrested?

Junior Siavi

I wish I'd thought to say that.

Yes.

I thought it was funny that the kicker got arrested but the article MHM linked to says 8 kickers have been arrested over the last 10 years (Janikowski 3 times and Jeff Reed twice).

LMAO

Yep Donks Owner is pissed that the image of a cheatin, cap avoiding , SB cheating team is getting run down-LOL

It's like he's Pippi Longstocking or something.
