When we first brought you this story, the details were a bit sketchy on exactly why Bears RB Garrett Wolfe took a Rodney King style beat down from the Miami Police Department (Bears Garrett Wolfe Arrested on Theft & Assaulting Police Officer).
Thanks to ProFootballTalk, we now have a better understanding of what went down. Here are the details.
It all started when Wolfe refused to pay his bill at a Miami Beach nightclub.
‘‘He became aggressive while being ejected by bouncers, and two off-duty officers were summoned,’’ Miami Beach Police detective Juan Sanchez said. ‘‘They gave him the opportunity to settle his bill, and he refused. He attacked one of the officers. Both officers suffered minor injuries.’’
I wonder what the police officers injuries looked like? Call me crazy, but I bet they aren’t as bad as Wolfe’s face. Wolfe is still in jail as no one has posted his 11k bond.
I am sure his side of the story will differ from the cops. From the looks of the mugshot it does appear Wolfe may have had a few too many Ciroc and Sprites.
It is South Beach, you should be checking out the ladies and annoying Charles Barkley, not auditioning for COPS. Just pay your bill and go to the next bar.
If it is proven the cops used excessive force, they should be punished as well, hopefully the full truth comes out.
