Former Jaguars first-round pick Justin Blackmon was “unsteady on his feet, reeked of alcohol and was wearing wet clothes,” in accordance with the incident report from his Saturday arrest in Oklahoma, per TMZ.
Officers reportedly were then “unable” to suit the ex-NFL wide receiver and former Oklahoma State Cowboy behind a cop automobile “as a result of his body size” and needed to request a bigger vehicle to take him to jail.
Blackmon, 35, was arrested early Saturday and charged with public intoxication in Payne County, Okla. An alleged mug shot states he lives in Ardmore, Okla.
The incident report states that Oklahoma State police received a call a couple of “larger black male” lying on the bottom at 1:32 a.m. Saturday.
Blackmon had entered a campus constructing by the point the cops arrived, and when the cops encountered him, that’s once they noticed him wobbling and smelling of alcohol.
He reportedly told the officers he had been attempting to walk home, however the cops reported his words were “slurred and confusing,” in accordance with TMZ.
Blackmon reportedly kept informing them he was headed to Stillwater, Okla., where the Oklahoma State campus is situated.
When the cops told Blackmon that Stillwater was a spot and never a particular address, he said he didn’t live in the world and “you bought me,” per the report.
Blackmon then turned around and placed his hands on his back before being told he was being arrested, with the cops saying they needed two sets of handcuffs as a result of his “body size and the girth of his wrists,” per the report.
After the cops couldn’t place him within the automobile on site, a second and bigger vehicle needed to be called to take him to jail.
His report listed him as 230 kilos, which is 20 kilos above what his Pro Football Reference page stated.
Blackmon lasted just two seasons within the NFL from 2012-13 after being picked fifth overall within the 2012 NFL Draft. He scored six touchdowns across 20 games.
He received a four-game suspension in 2013 for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy before later being suspended indefinitely for one more violation of the policy.
Blackmon was arrested for marijuana possession in 2014, and the NFL denied him reinstatement for the 2015 season. He was later arrested for DUI in Oklahoma in 2015.
An ESPN report on the time said it was his fourth substance-abuse arrest, with Blackmon also being arrested in 2010 on a misdemeanor DUI charge and again in May 2012 when his BAC was 3 times the legal limit.
Blackmon entered the College Football Hall of Fame last 12 months after tallying 253 catches, 3,564 yards and 40 touchdowns over three seasons with the Cowboys.
