Looks like they used the stick on him.

 

Very interested to see the info come out about this one. Resisting and trespassing? Hmmm....

 

Dammit.. The kid provided good depth.. Hope he doesn't get suspended.

 

Supposedly he got into a brouhaha at a club, was asked to leave by the bouncers, and refused. Not sure if he got into a fight with someone or they just beat the stuffing out of him when he refused to go.

 

Usually that means he was kicked out of someplace and refused to leave (trespassing) and had to be forcibly removed by police (resisting arrest)

All in all a low level beef, hopefully he learns his lesson

 

Got a link?

 

Andy Slater @AndySlater · 24m 24 minutes ago Police tell me Derrick Shelby reportedly caused a disturbance at club. Security & officers asked him to leave. He wouldn't, was arrested

Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley Apparently Derrick Shelby's arrest happened outside Off The Hookah. Defense attorney Danny Rosenberg said Shelby 'maintains his innocence.'

 

"Police say he reportedly caused"...such an arguable situation unfortunately.

Really sounds like some sh*thead started something with him...or vice-versa...club employees and cops broke it up...and Shelby thought he was being wrongly treated in some fashion, argued, and got arrested.

Pretty minor, if that's the long'n'short of it. Lesson to be learned.

Both of #Dolphins Derrick Shelby's charges (trespassing, resisting arrest) are misdemeanor charges.

 

Wouldn't be a Dolphins bye week without an arrest.

 

Why can't more guys be like Wake and Watt, taking absolute advantage of the opportunity while they can and leave the moron stuff for later?

 

How do you end up looking like that but only get charged with "resisting WITHOUT violence". Somebody beat the **** out of him and his charges don't match up with just cause at this point.

 

Not a good look on the police...particularly with Shelby saying the police are responsible for the bruises.

 

good stuff. i like having my defensive players get into fights in their off time. offensive players should avoid violence. defensive players should look for it

 

Comin off a two sack performance..get that boy in the game.

 

Wow, deej, thought you'd want him in the temple of the Kraken just working out like a madman...

;)

Mid 20's guy, pocket full of $$, no surprise really

 

I wish my prophetic self would have followed me from last week's review to the horse track this weekend.

 

because the league is filled with dumb athletes who were coddled thru their school years.

 

shame. we could have used him this week.

 

I've known FTL cops that would joke about beating peoples *** at clubs on the weekend, then charge them with bs after. I think I'd hold off on blaming Shelby for now.

 

Looks like the resisting part didnt go so well for him.

 

Shelbys face looks like a tuna sandwich..

 

I love a good tuna sandwich.

 

perhaps it wasn't the cops who beat him up

 

Not enough information.. Resisting without violence would lead you to believe it was the bouncers or whomever this all revolves around.. Police dont tolerate much and it seems they knock on resisting violently at the drop of a hat.

Lesson learned though even if you are not at fault if you are told to leave somewhere... Leave. You can always sue later. Once the police recieve a call of tresspassing all it can do is go down hill from there.

 

Jesus, did he get into a fight with a Buffalo Bills offensive linemen or something?

 

I'm not saying the cops beat him up. I'm saying someone beat him up and if that's the case he shouldn't be the only one arrested unless:

1. The police took the other side's word for it immediately even seeing Shelby look like that.

2. The police did the beating.

3. The police were presented with slam dunk level evidence that Shelby should look like that.

3. Shelby beat himself. (What a Dolphin thing to do)

 

But basketball and MLB players are also coddled. Are NFL players more coddled through school years?

It might deserve it's own thread but I read some statistics, where the NFL has the most per capita arrests, followed by NBA, then MLB and NHL and it isn't even close. 2,466 per 100k for NFL, 2,157 per for NBA, and then 553 for MLB and 175 for NHL.

At first, I was thinking, it has to be related to testosterone levels needed because nobody is going to argue NFL players are not the most aggressive in professional sports. But then I would, without any evidence just guessing, say hockey players would be next in the testosterone level but their arrest records look Mother Teresa next to to NBA and NFL players.

Are NFL and NBA players more coddled than the rest? It's certainly possible. There are no multi year minor leagues in the NBA and NFL.

 

Well part of that comes from the fact NFL players have far shorter seasons. More free time for trouble.

 

It was Incognito who did it. :shifty:

#Dolphins Derrick Shelby police report: He allegedly was “touching females without their permission.” Was asked to leave club...

We got this now to deal with, not good news, what a dumbass, you know the problems the league is having with women and you go and do this.

 

Dolphins should suspend him.

Exactly, if its true, he should be in more trouble with the police. Who cares about the league troubles, IMO, groping women (without their consent, of course) has to effing stop. And when dbags with some fame like him or Incognito, do this, the punishment needs to be the maximum to serve as a warning to everyone else that this crap will not be tolerated.

 

Or cut. Groping women without consent is rape-light.
