As for the actual story, it pisses me off that some liberal law is now affecting how my Broncos may perform on the field. He failed to appear in court over a wreckless driving charge and the background check alerted the police where he was when he was trying to purchase a gun. This is stupid, if they really wanted to arrest him, the Arapahoe Sheriff's Office is directly next door to where he works. They knew he was there the whole time, why now, when he tries to buy a gun is he arrested?
That's the difference between bench warrants and arrest warrants. With a bench warrant they wait for you instead of using resources tracking you down. Maybe if he had gone to court when he was supposed to instead of flying off to Vegas to party he wouldn't have any problems. I don't care about the traffic stop, if he would have just handled it like he was supposed to. I don't like that it seems like he figured he could just blow it off because he's good at tackling people and makes more money in a year than most will in a lifetime. The failed drug tests are another matter entirely, and yes it is tests as in plural. The NFL gives you a freebie that by the CBA doesn't get announced unless you have a second violation and then you actually get suspended. So if it is for failed marijuana tests he did lie on his 4473 and should be brought up on charges for that as well.
