Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Charles Snowden is just the latest player on the team to be in some trouble involving drinking an a vehicle.
Snowden was arrested on Tuesday and faces a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence of alcohol.
The 26-year-old was found passed out behind the wheel of a Jeep Cherokee, which was balancing atop a retaining wall with the engine still running.
Police showed up after a report of a suspicious vehicle near an intersection southwest of the Las Vegas Strip. One of the cops stated it took roughly 10 minutes for the driver to wake up and get out of the vehicle.
Paramedics were called to the scene because the Las Vegas Raiders starter could not stay awake or answer questions from authorities.
Less than 24 hours later and we are now seeing images of his Jeep Grand Cherokee hanging off the 4-foot retaining wall.
The AP reported that blood tests showed that Snowden’s blood-alcohol content was about .19%, which is more than twice the legal limit. In Nevada, the legal limit for drivers is .08%.
Snowden has played in all 13 games for the Raiders this season with seven starts.
This season, the defensive end has become a key player for Las Vegas, appearing in 13 games with 30 tackles and 1.5 sacks.
Things Just Continue To Go From Bad To Worse For The Las Vegas Raiders
The Las Vegas Raiders have experienced just about everything in the past two years, so naturally, things could only get worse.
Las Vegas officers found Raiders player Charles Snowden “passed out” behind the wheel of a Jeep Cherokee with its engine running this week.
He was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence of alcohol.
His arrest just adds to an already tough year where the team is in last place in the AFC West with a 2-11 record.
