Former Lion Charles Rogers jailed
PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) Former Detroit Lions wide receiver Charles Rogers is being held in the Oakland County Jail on a $100,000 bond for a probation violation.
Jail records show the 28-year-old Rogers has been locked up since Wednesday.
The Oakland Press of Pontiac and the Detroit Free Press say Rogers was arrested Sept. 12 in Novi following an incident involving him and a woman. Rogers was later charged with assault and battery, pleaded no contest to a reduced charge of trespassing and was sentenced to probation and partial confinement.
The Press says Rogers was charged with violating probation by taking unauthorized leave from confinement and testing positive for narcotics. He is to appear in court at 9 a.m. Monday.
A message seeking comment was left with Rogers' lawyer, Joshua Ben of Bingham Farms.
Yea, that was funny! It was Rae Carruth. I was just about to do a search because the name escaped me. I knew the details, but couldn’t get the name.
How for DB, Pacman Jones (Dallas/ Tennessee)

I guess the Lions won’t get a wild card this season............

Whatever happened to the good old days when Bobby Layne would throw 5 TDs, while drunk off his ass.
Yeah but at least he didn’t refer to his old girlfriends as “sloppy seconds.” Now THAT would be scandalous.
Don’t forget that Demetrius Underwood (MSU Class of 1998) is in prison as well after he went psycho and washed out of his pro career. Then there’s the story of Eric Knott, who was immediately offered a scholarship once he pled his rape charges down to 4th degree sexual assault.
And that’s just the MSU football team. The basketball team has had its share of incidents, too...
