Los Angeles Rams Running Back Tre Mason Arrested in Hollywood

Los Angeles Rams Running Back Tre Mason was arrested Saturday by the Hollywood Police Department after “an officer observed him driving recklessly”, per Paradise Afshar of News10

"Twelve grams of marijuana were later found inside the 22-year-old’s car, according to police. He was also shot with a stun gun during his encounter with law enforcement. Mason, who has a home in Delray Beach, was arrested around 5:30 p.m. in front of Diplomat Landing at 3200 South Ocean Dr., in Hollywood."

Paradise’s story describes the troubling details which led to the arrest:

"At the time he was driving a 2011 Porsche at about 75 mph in a 35 mph zone when he swerved across two lanes of traffic to avoid an accident, according to a report. Mason was on his cellphone when he was pulled over after a short chase and began recording his interaction with the officer, according to police. “I told the defendant he could record me but he would still eventually have to produce his license,” the report said. “The defendant stated he didn’t have it.” Mason then shook his head no when the officer asked him for his name, and continued to smirk at the officer when he asked if he had any other identification on him, the report said."

And finally:

"The Porsche didn’t have a registration or assigned plate number, according to police who did a search on the vehicle identification number. Police were able to find a bag of marijuana inside the vehicle, along with a cigar containing marijuana and a burnt bud that smelled like cannabis"

If you visit the website for the Broward Clerk of Courts, you’ll see that Mason has been charged with resisting arrest, possession of cannabis, reckless driving and failure to register a motor vehicle.

Here’s how I imagine Tre’s day going once he gets bailed out of jail:

• “Hi, yes, is this Mr. Tre Mason?”
• “It is…”
• “Please hold for Commissioner Roger Goodell on Line 1…”

Anyways … one might say that the Rams are off to a blazing start in their new city!
