The Carolina Panthers WR Dwayne Jarrett became the newest member of our Jocks Behind Bars when he was for possible DWI.

According to the police in the Charlotte area where the arrest occurred, Jarrett was stopped while cruising down Interstate 77 around 2 AM on Tuesday when the car he was driving had no tag on it.

The police report suggested that when the cop pulled him and approached the car, that Jarrett’s eyes were bloodshot, the player had slurred speech and appeared disoriented.

After doing a lousy job at the “are you shitfaced tonight” tests, Jarrett was taken to the slammer where he refused to any further testing. The cops responded by obtaining a search warrant that allowed him to take his blood for testing.

During the ordeal he was booked and cheesed for the mugshot shown here.

Back in 2008, Jarrett went through a similar arrest and ended up pleading guilty to that charge after blowing or testing with a .12 which is over the .08 legal limit.

That time, he is said to have run a red light, this time he is said to not have had tags on his vehicle. Dude, get proper tags and drive like it’s Driver’s Ed class when you’re coming home from partying in the middle of the night!

BTW, going into Week 5 in the NFL, Jarrett had just two catches for 40 yards and the team responded by cutting him shortly after the arrest.

Here’s a copy of the police report.
