The Ravens aren’t playing around anymore when it comes to player conduct. Vicor Hampton, 22, was arrested for DWI 2 days ago, and now he’s been cut by the Ravens. The rookie CB was arrested for reckless driving and a open container charge after a trooper clocked a convertible Camaro traveling 100 mph in a 55 mph zone on Interstate 77 in Charlotte. Hampton is no stranger to trouble in his short time in the NFL. Before the NFL draft in April, Hampton was arrested for an alleged violent altercation with his own sister. Hampton’s NFL.com draft profile notes he has had anger management issues in the past. The Ravens who just signed Hampton in January were not emotionally invested in Hampton in any way, and after the whole Ray Rice debacle, aren’t in the business of taking anymore more negative publicity hits.
At approximately 12:26 a.m. The trooper initiated his emergency equipment, and the Camaro was stopped about two miles down the interstate, near Arrowood Road.
Investigators said as the trooper approached the Camaro, he observed two passengers attempting to hide firearms under the front passenger seat.
Hampton was identified as the driver of the Camaro. Investigators said the trooper conducted a DWI investigation and determined Hampton’s blood-alcohol level was .10. The legal limit in the state of North Carolina is .08. Hampton was arrested and booked into the Mecklenburg County jail where he later posted bond.
