Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Koren Robinson was arrested late Tuesday night on suspicion of drunken driving and fleeing from police.
Not only is Mr Robinson in trouble with the law, but his playing career may be over. He was arrested last night on a felony charge for trying to flee police after going over 100 mph in a 55 mph zone near the teams training camp in Mankato. The former pro bowler also faces a possible 1 year suspension from the NFL for violating the substance abuse policy. The 26 year old Robinson was suspended 4 games in 2004 for violating the policy as a member of the Seahawks.
Vikings coach Brad Childress noted Wednesday after he learned of the arrest soon after Robinson missed the team’s 11 p.m. curfew Tuesday.
“I couldn’t be more disappointed for him, for the football team, and for the community to have that happen,” said Childress, adding it’s too soon to know how the arrest will affect Robinson’s status with the team.
