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?

Mario Williams Sues Ex-Fiancee Over Engagement Ring

Mario Williams Sues Ex-Fiancee Over Engagement RingAccording to The Buffalo News’ Dan Herbeck, Buffalo Bills’ Mario Williams has filed a lawsuit against his ex-fiancé, Erin Marzouki, in Houston’s Harris County Court to obtain a 10-carat engagement ring worth $785,000 he gave her in a proposal.

‘Used him for his money’

Williams alleges in his lawsuit that Marzouki never wanted to marry him and only used him for his money.

“(Marzouki) never intended to marry (Williams) and used the relationship as a means to get to (Williams’) money and acquire gifts,” said the lawsuit (per the Houston Chronicle).

The lawsuit also alleges that there was an agreement in place that if the engagement were called off, she would return the ring. Marzouki reportedly called off the engagement in January after receiving the ring in February 2012.


‘Right to recovery’

From a legal standpoint, Texas is a no-fault state for gifts, which engagement rings falls under. That means the person giving the ring is legally allowed to ask for its return “on breach of the marriage engagement by the donee,” per Herbeck. Thus, Williams’ lawyers noted that the Bills defensive end has a “right to recovery” in regards to the expensive piece of jewelry.

Williams’ suit also alleges Marzouki ran up $108,000 on an American Express card he gave her, along with another $230,000 in “additional luxurious items.” Even if Williams is unable to recover the ring, all isn’t lost financially for the 28-year-old. He is due a base salary of $6.5 million for 2013 and is under contract for even more exorbitant salaries going forward.

Do you think Mario Williams will be able to recover that engagement ring from his ex-fiancee? Guys, would you spend that much for a proposal?
