P.J. Williams just wanted to go home, that’s all. That’s exactly what the former Florida State Seminole and potential first round pick told the police after he was arrested for DUI.
After being taken to the jail for processing on this morning’s DUI charge, Florida State cornerback P.J. Williams told cops he was an athlete and that he “just wanted to go home.”
According to Safid Deen and Karl Etters of the Tallahassee Democrat, the NFL Draft prospect was arrested after making an illegal left turn out of a McDonald’s parking lot in a rental car with a suspended license, and failing roadside sobriety tests.
The report said Williams swerved over the center line several times, and nearly hit a curb before he was stopped around 3 a.m.
Officers noted he had red and watery eyes, slurred his words and swayed and had to brace himself against a car door. He told them he was a local bar called Recess. He refused breath tests, however.
Just wanting to go home seems to be the go to line for people who get pulled over by the police, who know they have done wrong. If you ever watch an episode of Cops, you will hear people saying that over and over again thinking it will get them out of the jam they are in.
I don’t think I have ever seen that line work and it certainly didn’t work for Williams despite him being a football star at the local university.
