Ravens' Rolando McClain arrest details out

espn.com / 4-23-13

Linebacker Rolando McClain allegedly yelled obscenities at police officers Sunday as they were trying to disperse a large crowd of more than 700 people at a local park after they responded to calls about a fight, Lt. John Crouch of the Decatur, Ala., police department said Monday.

"The officers got out, starting moving everyone out of the street when they heard somebody out of the crowd, yelling 'F the police,'" Crouch, the public information officer for the department, told 105.7 The Fan in Baltimore.

"They continued trying to move the people out of the street and they heard it again and it appeared whoever it was was trying to get the crowd stirred up. They eventually identified the person in the crowd, they moved in, told him he was under arrest for disorderly conduct, at which point he tried to jerk away.

"The officers grabbed his arms, he continued to struggle, trying to pull the officers further into the crowd. They did eventually get handcuffs on him and at that point they recognized him at Rolando McClain. So he's since been charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest," he said.

McClain recently signed with the Ravens after being released by the Oakland Raiders. He's out of jail after posting a $1,000 bond.

Is this a sign of head injury trauma? Or does this guy need to undergo serious anger management? The future does not bode well for Rolando.

but even my progressive California lawyer advises me never, ever to provoke or fuck with the police. They are certain to almost always win and we are certain to almost always lose.

That being said, I wonder if McClain could be suffering from some sort of advanced head trauma. He's been acting odd lately.

7. Anybody that gets suspended from the Raiders for "conduct detrimental to the team" has my respect.
