He's now closer to the types that made him and his brother leave STL in the first place, and they probably have more of an influence on him now. It's a shame, too - he's a hell of a football player, perennial Pro Bowl level if he keeps his brain straight.

I don't think those "types" have anything to do with either of the actual incidents in which he's gotten in trouble.
The first was with a car full of teammates, at the practice facility (and if it had been the local police rather than MU police "arresting" would have been a misdemeanor from the start, with no bookings or arrest, just a simple ticket).
The second was in Springfield, over break, with friends from the Springfield area.
