Hill: Chronicle Of A Downfall
Charles Rogers was on the fast track to NFL stardom, but drugs and immaturity led to an epic downfall, Jemele Hill writes. Story
Novi Deputy Police Chief Tom Lindberg said officers arrested Rogers on Tuesday at an On the Border restaurant on a warrant for disobeying a sobriety court order. The order was imposed after Rogers pleaded guilty in September to impaired driving.
Lindberg says Rogers was visibly intoxicated Tuesday and was taken to a hospital. He spent the night in custody, and district Judge Robert Bondy sentenced him Wednesday.
Messages were left with Rogers' lawyer, Justin Barnett.
Rogers, 28, the No. 2 NFL draft pick in 2003, pleaded guilty in September to impaired driving and reentered a sobriety court program, which involves intensive counseling and testing.
A police source said Rogers was taken into custody at about 3:15 p.m. ET Tuesday after employees were unable to rouse him and feared he may have had a heart attack, The Detroit News reported.
"He was showing signs of intoxication and was uncooperative, and at that point our officers determined that he had a warrant out for his arrest," Lindberg said Wednesday, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Rogers pleaded guilty in September to charges stemming from an incident in which he was found "non-responsive behind the wheel" of a vehicle that was still running, in gear and in a left-turn lane, authorities said.
Earlier in 2008 he had served a 30-day jail sentence, with credit for 15 days, instead of staying in an intensive counseling program after violating probation in a domestic violence case.
Rogers was suspended by the Lions for substance abuse in 2005 and released the next year. The team says he must repay two-thirds of a $9.1 million bonus.
