NFL Players arrest thread

Former Oregon Ducks wide receiver Ryan Pellum has found himself in trouble with the law days after his decision to enter the transfer portal.


Pellum, who completed his first year of college football at the end of the season, was arrested in Springfield, Oregon, this week.

According to Kezi 9 News (H/T Sports Illustrated), the wideout was taken into custody after a warrant was issued under his legal name, Ryan Tristan Chance Taylor, for an assault alleged to have taken place on Christmas Day.

Pellum is accused of causing a head injury to someone else by “pistol-whipping” them. He is also said to have fired off two rounds in an unknown direction, with the discharge prompting a nationwide extraditable warrant.

The outlet reports that a bail amount has been set, though it is unknown.

Ryan Pellum Was Sought By Some Of The Nation’s Biggest Programs Before Deciding On Oregon​

Ryan Pellum entered the transfer portal this week after playing one season in what could be considered a surprising move, although it’s thought to make sense now, given this latest report.

A former four-star recruit, the wide receiver committed to USC before flipping to Oregon, having attended Millikan High School in Long Beach, California, where he played both cornerback and wide receiver.

He opted to join the Ducks after fielding offers from multiple programs, including Ohio State, Texas, Texas A&M, Miami, Colorado, Penn State, Georgia, USC, Alabama, LSU, Michigan, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Washington, Tennessee, Arizona State, BYU, Arkansas, and Auburn.

The wideout leaves Oregon after making just four appearances.

His college career could be at risk, considering the seriousness of the accusations made against him

At age 62, Bo knows forgiveness. Or at least compromise.

Legendary dual-sport phenom Bo Jackson has abandoned a $21-million judgment awarded to him last year in an extortion and harassment case involving his niece and nephew.

Jackson, whose prodigious feats as a Los Angeles Raiders running back and a Major League outfielder in the late 1980s and early '90s put him in the conversation as the best athlete, alleged that Thomas Lee Anderson and Erica M. Anderson harassed and tried to extort $20 million from him. A Cobb County, Ga., Superior Court judge in February ruled in Jackson's favor and awarded him $20 million in punitive damages and $1 million in compensatory damages.

In addition to the financial award, Judge Jason Marbutt granted Jackson a permanent protective order against the Andersons, who are siblings.

“Defendants have acted with malice, wantonness, oppression, with a conscious effort of indifference to circumstances and with the specific intent to cause Plaintiff harm,” Marbutt wrote in his ruling.



Nearly a year later, however, Marbutt granted Jackson's motion to vacate the default judgment and permanent injunction as well as the stalking permanent protective order against the Andersons.

“The parties have conducted two mediations and have reached a private agreement resolving this dispute,” the court filing said.

According to the lawsuit filed by Jackson in 2023, the Andersons attempted to extort $20 million from him in exchange for not publicly disclosing information that would cast him “in a false light” and cause “severe emotional distress.”

Jackson won the Heisman Trophy in 1985 as a running back at Auburn, played for the Raiders from 1987-90 and for the Kansas City Royals, Angels and Chicago White Sox from 1986-94. He has operated several businesses since retiring, and might be best known for pitching shoes for Nike.

The sneaker giant's first commercial employing Jackson was aired during the 1989 MLB All-Star Game, titled "Cross-Training by Bo Jackson." A shot of Jackson crushing a fastball is followed by Dodgers star Kirk Gibson telling the camera, "Bo knows baseball." Next Rams quarterback Jim Everett says, "Bo knows football," then Chicago Bulls phenom Michael Jordan says, "Bo knows basketball, too."

With Bo Diddley wailing on electric guitar in the background, John McEnroe asks, "Bo knows tennis?" followed by U.S. Olympic marathon champion Joan Benoit saying, "Bo knows running!" and Kings star Wayne Gretzky just saying "No," while standing on ice.

The commercial ends with Jackson doing his own wailing on guitar, only to have the real guitar legend tell him jokingly, "Bo, you don't know Diddley."

Jackson apparently knew enough about the Andersons' inability to pay him millions to agree to new terms that state the siblings owe him no money but are not to come within 500 yards of him. They may not threaten, harass or intimidate Jackson or his wife or children and may not have direct contact with them at family events.

The Andersons alleged that their lawyer did not inform them of the court appearance where Marbutt ordered them to pay $20 million. Marbutt found for Jackson in a default judgment after the Andersons failed to appear in court.

Jackson's lawyers issued this statement after that hearing: “Unfortunately for those attempting to extort $20 million from Jackson and his family, Bo still hits back hard."

The Andersons retained new lawyers, who responded with a court filing that stated, "Jackson seeks to use his power, fame, and financial resources to intimidate and ultimately silence his niece and nephew. The Andersons should not be made destitute because their lawyer lied to them.”


Jackson was the first overall pick in the 1986 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but did not sign, instead opting for the Royals, who made him a fourth-round pick in the MLB draft two months later and sent him to the major league team.

A year later, Raiders owner Al Davis took a chance and drafted Jackson in the seventh round, even though he'd made it clear baseball was his first priority. It took a few months, but Jackson agreed to a long-term, $1-million a year deal with the Raiders, making Davis' gamble a winning wager.

In four seasons, Jackson split time at running back with fellow Heisman winner Marcus Allen, rushing for 2,782 yards and 16 touchdowns while averaging a robust 5.4 yards a carry. Three times he had the longest run from scrimmage in the NFL, with two of them exceeding 90 yards. In the 1990 season, Jackson made the Pro Bowl.

Meanwhile, Jackson was tearing up the American League, hitting 107 home runs during a four-year span from 1987-90. In 1989, he was MVP of the All-Star Game and hit 32 home runs while driving in 107.

Hip replacement surgery in 1992 ended his NFL career, but he returned to MLB in 1993 after a two-year layoff, hitting 16 home runs in 85 games for the White Sox. He finished his MLB career with the Angels, in 1994, batting .279 with 13 homers in 75 games.
 
The men charged in connection with the burglary of Joe Burrow’s home didn’t do a great job of covering their tracks.


According to the Cincinnati FBI, the defendants are all members of a South American theft group and were arrested for “federal crimes related to the burglary.”

Jordan Francisco Quiroga Sanchez, 22, Bastian Alejandro Orellana Morales, 23, and Sergio Andres Ortega Cabello, 38, have been indicted. They are all of Chilean origin and arrived in the U.S. illegally.

The men allegedly broke into the Bengals quarterback’s house on December 9 while he was playing a ‘Monday Night Football’ game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Model Olivia Ponton was at the house at the time and reported the break-in.

The individuals above are believed to be part of a larger group that plans and carries out burglaries across the country.


The NFL sent a memo to players late last year warning them of a highly organized crew of thieves from South America who have made targets of athletes and celebrities following burglaries at the houses of Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, and Travis Kelce. It appears the FBI has made significant headway in their investigations.

Meanwhile, the case involving the Bengals QB looks to be closed.

Here's another crime that wouldn't have happened if it weren't for Joe Biden and his stupid immigration policies.
 
Kadarius Toney has been arrested on serious accusations following an incident involving a woman.


The two-time Super Bowl champion was apprehended last week, with TMZ having obtained documents noting that he allegedly put his hand around a woman’s throat during a dispute at a house in Georgia on January 14.

The outlet adds that he squeezed “with enough force to cause her to be unable to breathe.”

According to the documents, the attack left the woman nursing red marks on her neck and petechial hemorrhaging in her eyes.

Kadarius Toney Allegedly Stopped The Woman From Calling 911​

Toney is also accused of taking the woman’s phone to prevent her from calling the police.

Warrants were issued in his name on January 15. Per jail records obtained by TMZ, he was “thrown behind bars” at a facility in Douglas County on February 6. The wide receiver is understood to be facing a charge of aggravated assault for strangulation and another charge of obstructing 911 calls. A bond of $25,000 was set for each count.

“We’ve reached out to Toney for comment on the situation … though, so far, we’ve not heard back,” the outlet disclosed.

Toney was a first-round pick for the New York Giants out of Florida in 2021. He won two Super Bowls with the Chiefs and spent last season with the Cleveland Browns, playing three games before he was released in December.
