MICHAEL FLOYD: SHOCKING DUI ARREST VIDEO NFL Star Passed Out at the Wheel

Posted on 12/21/2016 6:07:39 AM PST by RummyChick

TMZ Sports has obtained arrest video showing NFL wide receiver Michael Floyd PASSED OUT behind the wheel of his SUV while in traffic ... and it's disturbing.

The footage was shot around 2:48 AM on Monday morning when cops noticed Floyd's Cadillac Escalade was stopped at a green traffic light ... and didn't move for two cycles.

When cops approached the car, you can see Floyd completely zonked out in the front seat with his mouth open. Officers banged on the window to wake him up and he was completely discombobulated. Floyd had no idea where he was at or what time it was ... and gave conflicted answers on what he had to drink earlier that night. Floyd does cop to drinking wine ... but can't keep his story straight about how many glasses he drank and where he drank ... at one point saying he drank on the Cardinals team flight from Miami to AZ. Eventually, cops arrested Floyd for DUI. During the arrest, they realize he's an NFL player. Cops also note Floyd was carrying exactly $666 in his wallet at the time of the bust.

The photo at the link seems to show $646 dollars.

Michael Floyd was one of my favorite Cardinals. Hope he gets help. Sad.

Passed out with his foot on the brake while the car is in drive gear. Eeesh.

Picked up by the Patriots after the AZ Cardinals dismissed him for the most recent DUI. Long history of alcohol abuse at least since 2009. Three DUI 2009-2011. Suspended by Notre Dame for DUI in 2011.

Sleight of hand, there is another $20 hiding in the fan of bills.

These sport scums need to be booted every time they pull this cr@p. Surely, there are better players in the world who don’t destroy their bodies with booze and drugs or bring down ratings.

He was - the Arizona Cardinals cut him shortly after the incident.

Then the Patriots picked him up.

Dumb question but why doesn’t the guy who hasn’t been drinking just drive for the ones who have? Wouldn’t that be a better solution than letting the drunks get behind the wheel?

I heard banging in the middle of the night about 10 years ago.
I looked outside my bedroom window and there were some police tapping on the car window of my neighbors car.
She had made it halfway into her driveway and passed out, with the car running.
They had a hard time waking her up.

Eventually they woke her up and handcuffed her and took her away - she could barely stand.

I don’t know if the car was in Park or in gear and just not moving because of the incline or what.

She was always drinking and doing goofy stuff.
I was glad when she moved.

I don’t know about other states, but here in Florida, you can be charged with DUI sitting in the passenger seat of a parked car with the keys NOT in the ignition............

Too funny. I actually thought of bra size the moment I saw DD but knew it didn’t have anything to do with bras.

Because there could be as many as 20 vehicles associated with the gathering. A designated driver is a more sane resolution...but some young bucks like to play games with the cops.

No joke. If a cab ride costs you $200, it’s a bargain compared to a DUI.
