My "Heroes"
First, I'm not really a sports fan - except for maybe the Packers and women's indoor volleyball. So just for yucks, I searched for "police" on ESPN. This was the first page of results...
ST. PETER, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings receiver Koren Robinson was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving Tuesday night near the team's training camp.
WASHINGTON -- Former NBA player Lonny Baxter was arrested by uniformed Secret Service agents on Wednesday after shots were fired from a vehicle about two blocks from the White House.
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Clarett was arrested last week following a police chase near the home of a woman set to testify against him in a January robbery. Four loaded guns were found in his sport utility vehicle, and officers said they had to use pepper spray to subdue him because he was wearing a bullet-proof vest that thwarted their stun guns.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- Sweden's former 400-meter hurdler Sven Nylander, one of five people involved in a drug bust at a party during the European Athletics Championships, said Tuesday he used cocaine.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Titans defensive tackle Randy Starks missed practice Monday, but coach Jeff Fisher said the player charged with domestic assault on his fiancee will be back Tuesday.
CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati waived defensive tackle Matthias Askew on Tuesday, one of five Bengals accused of breaking the law in the past three months.
LOS ANGELES -- USC receiver Dwayne Jarrett and lineman Thomas Herring were briefly detained by police early Tuesday after they were picked up by a female driver in a car that may have been used during a crime, authorities said.
Arkansas -- McFadden, the dynamic back who was the 2005 SEC freshman of the year, had surgery for a dislocated toe in late July -- after a police report says he was involved in a fight outside a Little Rock club.
