NOVI, Mich. (AP)
Police say ex-Detroit Lions and Michigan State receiver Charles Rogers has been arrested after apparently drinking too much and passing out at a Mexican restaurant.
Novi Deputy Chief Tom Lindberg said Wednesday that Rogers was arrested at the suburban Detroit restaurant on a warrant for disobeying a sobriety court order.
The 28-year-old Saginaw native and No. 2 NFL draft pick in 2003 pleaded guilty in September to impaired driving and re-entered a sobriety court program, which involves intensive counseling and testing.
Lindberg says Rogers was visibly intoxicated Tuesday and was taken to a hospital. He’s scheduled to appear Wednesday in district court.
This continues a sad sequence of events that saw Rogers’ once promising NFL career derailed by injuries and substance abuse issues. Rogers was both a beast starring at Michigan State and the star of one of my favorite Madden commercials of all-time.
