Ex-Cowboy Michael Irvin Arrested in Texas Nov 27 7:53 PM US/Eastern Email this story
PLANO, Texas
Former Dallas Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin was charged with misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia after police searched his vehicle during a traffic stop, Plano police said Sunday.
Irvin, an ESPN analyst and semifinalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, was arrested on an outstanding warrant for speeding in Irving after being pulled over Friday afternoon for speeding in Plano, the Plano Police Department said. Police spokesman Mike Johnson said he didn't know what kind of paraphernalia was found.
Irvin paid a fine on the speeding ticket and posted bond on the drug paraphernalia possession charge. He was released about an hour after he was pulled over.
"We are reviewing the facts of the situation and have no comment at this time," ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said.

Any LEO want to chime in on when you pop for this? I see it every day in local arrest records; usually with other charges.
Didn't hurt LT.
5 rings, actually.
He is on probation. When you're on probation in Texas (other states too) part of your probation is random searches and anytime you have contact with the police you and your vehicle are going to be searched.
Does anyone else find it odd that this website is the only one who has it that he was arrested on an outstanding warrant? Wouldn't it be bigger news than this?
Sounds like he got a speeding ticket in Irving, didn't pay it, then got caught in Plano. Since he didn't pay the Irving ticket, a warrant had been issued and that's why the cop was arresting him and searching the car in Plano. So if he would have just taken care of the Irving ticket, the Plano episode would have just been another speeding ticket, not an arrest and search. Moral of the story: Pay your damn tickets!
I'd agree. There is a past history, but I'd like to see how it pans out as well.
Yep.
i always got the feeling that irvin was the only one that really was on rush's side during that whole espn fiasco.
Guess he has kept his nose clean, since.
Got a pair of hemostats that you bought at an auto store to work on some wiring and put them in your glovebox ? Your Busted. Although I can't envision Irvin working underneath his dashboard.
hey, he said good-bye to the HoF a long time ago....
He was on ESPN today, grinning and making the same boob of himself he does every week.
Someone got audio on when he got busted with the Cowboys where he did the thing about "that didn't go over my tongue, over my teeth or past my lips?" The guy is a world class fool.
Can't stand listening to the guy. Sometimes I mute the channel rather than listen.
"Do you know who I am?"
You ain't diddly squat! (and my gal is red hot!)
my cousin Lee Roy Jordan played for the Cowboys when they really were America's team...now? well need I say more! and let me tell you, if Lee Roy didn't get in the HoF as probably the greatest defensive player ever, then the coke head Irvin sure doesn't deserve to make it!!!!!
