Former Detroit Lion Titus Young Arrested Twice In A Day

Former Detroit Lion Titus Young Arrested Twice In A DayFormer Detroit Lions wide receiver Titus Young was arrested on two separate occasions for two separate reasons on Sunday.

‘Bizarre details’

The Oakland Press‘ Paula Pasche has the bizarre details of the story:

According to the police Report, Young was stopped at 12:01 a.m. on Sunday after making an illegal left turn in front of a patrol car.

Young was stopped and arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence. He was booked at the Robert Presley Detention Center and later issued a citation and released from custody.

Hours later, at 2:22 p.m. that day, officers responded to a tow company yard where a man was seen jumping over the fence.

It was Young looking for his black Mustang.

He was arrested for burglary after the police determined he was trying to take his own vehicle. He was booked again at the same detention center.


‘Unacceptable behavior’

That’s not going to help the once-burgeoning wide receiver make an NFL team. The Lions released him in February after “unacceptable” behavior—which included punching teammate Louis Delmas and forced him to be sent home three different times—became far too much to deal with.

To make matters worse, he responded about as poorly as possible, subsequently going on a controversial Twitter rant and once again making the headlines in the wrong way. Jeff Fisher and the St. Louis Rams attempted to give him a second chance, but they weren’t impressed and quickly released him.

Do you think Titus Young will ever bounce back from his NFL downfall? What can you say about his series of arrests in a single day?

Charles Ramsey: I Was Raised To Help Women In Distress

Charles Ramsey I Was Raised To Help Women In DistressWithin hours of becoming a national hero, a viral video star and the top topic on Twitter, Charles Ramsey talked about having trouble getting sleep. Ramsey told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Tuesday, it was about knowing he had lived for a year near the captive women on the city’s West Side.

‘Broke down the door’

Ramsey recounted Monday night’s drama, when he heard a girl scream “like a car had hit a kid.” He ran from his living room, clutching a half-eaten McDonald’s Big Mac, to the house and helped free a woman identified as Amanda Berry.

“Amanda said, ‘I’ve been trapped in here. He won’t let me out. It’s me and my baby.”

Ramsey and a man named Angel Cordero broke down the door, CNN affiliate WEWS reported in an earlier interview heard around the world. After police arrived, Berry explained there were other women inside.


‘Dead giveaway’

Berry was last seen after finishing her shift at a Burger King in Cleveland in 2003 on the eve of her 17th birthday. The other two women are Georgina “Gina” DeJesus, who disappeared at age 14 in 2004, and Michelle Knight, who vanished in August 2002, at age 21, according to police.

Castro “got some big testicles to pull this off, bro,” Ramsey told WEWS. “Because we see this dude every day. I mean every day.” He added, “I knew something was wrong when a little, pretty white girl ran into a black man’s arms. Something is wrong here. Dead giveaway.”

In one of the top tweets about Ramsey, comedian Patton Oswalt wrote, “Dear Charles Ramsey: I am not a little pretty white girl, but I totally want to run into your black arms. #hero.”

Ramsey said he was raised to help women in distress, said Walsh.

What could have happened if Charles Ramsey had turned a deaf ear to Amanda Berry? Would you have done the same, too?
