LAD_Brooklyn Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Former Ohio State cornerback Bradley Roby, a potential first-round draft pick, may have just done something to significantly downgrade his draft stock. According to 10 News in Ohio, Roby is facing a a charge of OVI, or operating a vehicle under the influence. The incident took place on April 20, when officers were called to the scene of a person passed out behind the wheel of a car. The officers who responded to the call reported that they couldn’t get the driver’s attention, and that when they opened the door they noticed the odor of alcohol. The driver failed a field sobriety test. Roby’s agent Michael Perrett gave a different account of the incident to Ohio State sports website ElevenWarriors.com. “This past weekend my client Bradley Roby was issued a citation in Columbus, Ohio for operating a vehicle while impaired (OVI),” Perrett said in a statement. “Bradley was sitting in his parked car in a parking lot when he was approached and questioned by an officer. He was fully cooperative and willingly submitted to field sobriety and breathalyzer tests. His BAC test registered a negligible .008 and after further testing at the police station, he was very quickly released on his own recognizance. There are no other charges, and we are confident that this matter will be resolved quickly and favorably for Bradley. However, as the matter is still pending, we cannot comment further at this time.” This isn’t Roby’s first off-field incident. He was also suspended for the first game of last season after he was accused of getting in a bar fight, although criminal charges in that case were eventually dropped. Roby is one of the 30 players who will attend the NFL draft. This incident means he’s likely going to have to wait a little longer to hear his name called on draft day.

dundunit Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 You'd think that if you're less than a month away from a life changing event in your life you would go out of your way to not go out. Hope that night was worth a few mill, because thats what he just lost. Stupidity like this would have me completely take off my board. If he's dumb enough to make a mistake like this, he will likely do worse in new york. See ya bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is a person supposed to do other than that ? Call a cab. Call a friend for a ride (people have $20 million reasons to be friends with this dude, BTW). Or just don't put yourself in a crappy position like that at all, especially (but not only) when you're about to get drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlancemehlot Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I have a legal question. What is a person supposed to do if they are intoxicated and cannot drive. Wouldnt you sleep it off ? What is a person supposed to do other than that ? truth is, no test is given for a minimum of 20 minutes to allow for the "mouth alcohol" to dissipate. this is following the arrest and booking procedure after being stopped, questioned, tested in the field and transported to headquarters for booking. so most BAC levels are lower than the levels the driver had prior to being stopped. Beyond that, sleeping in a car would not be an offense. Sleeping in a running car with the keys in the ignition, would show intent to operate, however. this is how a DUI would hold up if a driver passed out at a stoplight. There are parameters. Roby getting popped twice in a relatively short period of time would indicate he may have a substance abuse issue. Or he just might be incredibly unlucky. With millions of dollars on the line, an employer might just take a pass and draft a less risky prospect. Like one who hasn't been arrested for intoxication on multiple occasions.

The car does not have to be running for a person to be charged. According to the St. Lawrence County DA if a person has possession of the keys to the vehicle that is sufficient enough. I was taken into custody up in Potsdam sleeping it off in the backseat of my girlfriends car and was arrested. Fortunately the DA was willing to plea it down to a drunk in public charge and a $65 fine. His claim was that it was perfectly clear I had no intent of operating the vehicle. I kind of got lucky because the car was running. Well, it was -35F outside! I think he took that into account as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latinlawyer Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 If you are intoxicated, or feel woozy, do not...i repeat, DO NOT get in the driver's seat of a car. Even if you are parked and have not moved the vehicle, the fact that you have the keys and you could drive can cause you to be issued a summons. Its best to avoid any appearance of intent to drive while intoxicated. 1) Call a Cab or 2) Call a friend to take you home or 3) Rent a local hotel room and sleep it off. If you are booked for OVI/DUI/DWI, that could stay on your record and come up at a bad time (EMPLOYMENT BACKGROUND SEARCH). Be smart, don't approach your car's driver seat, let someone else drive you home. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redman81 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 From what I understand if the keys are within reach( basically anywhere inside the cabin of the car) you can be charged. I've heard if you decide to sleep it off in your car you have to put the keys in the trunk or unhook the neg batter terminal rendering the car "inoperable". Dude should've just called a friend or cab though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirlancemehlot Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Thanks for explaining it. It defies logic. My car. If I am in the passengers seat taking a nap where does driving part come in. I have done that. It doesn't. you're fine. Sleep in the passenger seat, sleep in the backseat. Not a problem. In most cases sleeping behind the wheel is not advised unless you leave your keys elsewhere. In NJ intent to operate is the key phrase.Sleeping it off in a parking lot with your keys in a jacket in the back seat would absolutely be fine. BTW I'm a cop, certified breathylizer operator. certified nystagmus operator and a bunch of other things. So the above is straight from the horses' mouth, not opinion. Nervous nellies like to claim the police are all hiding in bushes waiting to douse you in beer and drag you off to the clink. Not true. DUI arrests are a crapload of work. Everyone I know crosses their fingers that they don't run into one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonehands Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 The more you hear about this, it should be a non-factor in where he is drafted. Those teams that had questions about him will remain weary while those that cleared him should probably still consider him draftable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
