Maybe it's because I'm a female, but I get the whole situation.

And if she was tanked out of her mind, why would the cops just go arrest him? If you have some drunk hostile chick and some guy trying to calm her down, the cops go arrest the dude? Police = Idiots.

And Rae Carruth had an off the field problem. Why not (if he wasn't so old when he gets released) put him back on the field? He was projected to have a pretty nice career before he screwed it up.

I think we need to wait and see. The cops went there, they arrested and booked him. He was in a cell for several hours. If it was as simple as Merriman said, I agree with DRave, then the police were idiots (been known to happen).

Maybe he was doing the good thing and keeping her from driving, maybe not. Do you expect him to put out a statement saying I beat her and kept her against her will with no obvious mitigating explanation?

Let's let the system play itself out. If he's innocent then hopefully the system will work right, and this will be nothing more than a blip on the radar.
