Video of Hollywood Brown’s arrest for speeding emerges

The Arizona Cardinals might be with out star wideout DeAndre Hopkins for the primary six video games of the 2022 season as he serves a suspension for a optimistic PED take a look at. They are going to be with out their main receiver from 2021 as Christian Kirk opted to hitch the Jacksonville Jaguars in free company. They knew they have been going to wish a standout vast receiver this yr and that’s why they traded their 2021 first-round choose to the Baltimore Ravens in trade for the latter’s high vast receiver from final yr, Marquise Brown.

Brown was anticipated to take the Cardinals’ main receiver position instantly whereas Hopkins served his suspension. As of this morning although, Brown is doing his greatest Antonio Brown impersonation. Brown was arrested this morning in north Phoenix for felony rushing.

So, how does anybody get arrested for rushing? You must be going fairly dang quick to have that occur, proper? What even determines felony rushing? It varies from state to state, however in Arizona, felony rushing is outlined as both exceeding 85 miles per hour in any capability, driving 20 miles per hour over the posted pace restrict, or driving over 35 miles per hour in a faculty zone.

Replace 8/3/23: TMZ obtained physique cam footage of the incident.

The arresting officer will be heard asking “The hell you going that quick for?” In accordance with the Arizona Division of Public Security, Brown was clocked doing 126 MPH in a 65 MPH zone.

“I used to be on my solution to soccer observe, sir,” Hollywood stated.

“ higher than going that quick,” the officer replied.

Brown pleaded responsible to an extreme rushing cost again in February. The decide waived the $473 effective, and gave the WR credit score for time served.

In accordance with the Heath Legislation Agency, felony rushing is a category 3 misdemeanor. The utmost penalty is 30 days in jail, a $500 effective (plus an 83 % surcharge), and as much as one yr of probation. The minimal penalty is both court-ordered driving college or a terminal disposition (mainly, you have been convicted, however given no penalties). The most typical penalty is a effective and a conviction in your report, which in Arizona, can by no means be stricken. It’s very uncommon that somebody will get arrested for felony rushing, which makes Hollywood Brown’s case all of the extra puzzling.

Nonetheless, even when Brown is given the utmost penalty, which is unlikely provided that he has no prior arrests or a major site visitors report, this shouldn’t have an effect on Brown’s availability for the upcoming NFL season, except the NFL or Arizona Cardinals take additional disciplinary motion. That appears uncertain.

The Cardinals launched a assertion when information of Brown’s arrest broke, stating “We’re conscious of the state of affairs relating to Hollywood Brown and have reported it to the NFL workplace as required.” They continued saying they might make additional feedback as they obtained extra data.

With Brown’s arrest, Hopkins’ suspension, and the general public’s concern over quarterback Kyler Murray’s movie examine tendencies, the Cardinals might have an early case for essentially the most dysfunctional group of 2022. It’s a protracted season forward of us although, and I’m positive the Dolphins with their Brian Flores state of affairs, or the Commanders with…all the things that group touches will make a run for the title quickly sufficient.
