Rams WR Demarcus Robinson arrested on suspicion of DUI hours after loss to Eagles
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was arrested early on Monday morning on suspicion of DUI, according to the NFL Network’s Clayton Holloway.
Robinson was pulled over around 5:15 a.m. on Monday, just hours after the Rams’ 37-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles at SoFi Stadium the night before. Officers said Robinson was driving faster than 100 miles per hour on a freeway in the Los Angeles area before they initiated a traffic stop.
Officers then “observed objective signs and symptoms of alcohol impairment,” and Robinson was arrested on suspicion of a DUI. He was cited and then released.
Robinson is in his second season with the Rams this fall. He had two catches for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s loss to the Eagles. He’s racked up 384 yards and a career-high six touchdowns on 26 catches this season, his ninth in the league. The 30-year-old signed a one-year, $4 million deal to return to the Rams this past offseason.
The Rams have not yet commented on Robinson’s arrest. The team dropped to 5-6 on the season on Sunday, which marked their second loss in their last three games. They will take on the New Orleans Saints on Sunday in Louisiana.
