Cedric Benson arrested (and now released)

[GMScud]

Apparently a girl who was on the boat has come forward saying Benson was not intoxicated, and was not resisting. She asked her parents to call 911 b/c she was concerned about his safety, and said Benson was unnecessarily pepper sprayed (cops are way to liberal nowadays with pepper spray/tazers), and it was harassment on the part of the police. I guess the girl's fiance took some pictures as well, and said Benson was being beaten and was terrified . This corroborates Benson's account of the story.

Also, I heard on the radio this morning that every single time Benson took his boat out he has been stopped for "safety checks."

Sounds fishy to me. Either Benson is repeatedly reckless with his boat, or someone has it out for him. I know how shady cops can be. I tend to side with Benson on this one as of now. The guy might be a bust and a poor teammate, but I don't think he's been a problem as far as the law is concerned.
