Charger Jamal Williams arrested on suspicion of DUI
February 5 , 2009
For the second time in less than a month , a member of the San Diego Chargers has been arrested on suspicion of drunk driving .
According to the California Highway Patrol , defensive tackle Jamal Williams was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving <m> last weekend </m> on a freeway outside downtown .
Williams , who was booked into county jail and later released on bail , did give a blood sample for a blood - alcohol test .
However the results have not yet been divulged .
Just last month , wide receiver Vincent Jackson , who was on probation for a previous DUI arrest , was pulled over for investigation of DUI .
That arrest was just five days prior to the team's second - round playoff loss at Pittsburgh .
In a statement released by the team , General Manager A . J . Smith noted , "It's disappointing to hear about the issue involving Jamal Williams .
We'll continue to monitor the situation and let the legal process run its course .
The Chargers have always been leaders and positive contributors to our community .
We take our stature in the community very seriously . "
While everyone is human , this appears to be yet another case of a professional athlete not using the matter that is provided to all of us between our ears .
With more and more professional athletes making news these days , and oftentimes not for the right reasons , it is no wonder many people have trouble relating with the pros .
Salaries that the common man generally doesn't see and an attitude of not caring in many cases is just part of the problem .
While Williams and Jackson are presumed innocent , hopefully both of them learn a lesson .
At the end of the day , their alleged actions not only impact them , but that family of four , the couple out on a date , or the guy returning home from his work shift .
When you get behind the wheel of your car drunk , you could ruin more than just your life .
