NFL star Demarcus Robinson arrested on DUI just hours after playing for LA Rams this weekend
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was arrested in the early hours of Monday morning on suspicion of misdemeanor DUI.
According to TMZPolice stopped Robinson in Los Angeles when they saw him driving above 100 mph in his white Dodges sedan around 5 a.m.
The report says Robinson, 30, refused to perform a field sobriety test at the scene and was subsequently arrested.
He apparently showed signs of impairment and was later released to a responsible party, TMZ says.
Robinson played for the Rams in Sunday night’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, recording two receptions for 15 yards and scoring one touchdown as his team lost 37-20 at SoFi Stadium.
Robinson began his NFL career in 2016, when the Kansas City Chiefs drafted him in the fourth round.

He stayed in Kansas City until 2021, joining the Baltimore Ravens via the Las Vegas Raiders, where he played in just two preseason games.
After a year in Baltimore, the Rams signed Robinson and in February of this year he re-signed with Sean McVay’s team on a one-year, $5 million deal.
Earlier this season, he was linked with a return to the Chiefs and a reunion with Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes when Kansas City had a backlog of injuries at the wide receiver position.
NFL insider Adam Schefter said Robinson would be a smart addition to the team chasing its third straight Super Bowl title because of his familiarity with the way Andy Reid’s teams operate.
“I think in a perfect world it would be someone like Demarcus Robinson, [a player] who knows the system and knows the quarterback,” Schefter said in October.
The Chiefs ultimately traded for DeAndre Hopkins from the Tennessee Titans.
The Rams, meanwhile, are third in the NFC West with a 5-6 record after losing to the Eagles on Sunday night.
They next play the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
