Clarett's Crazy Cruise

Sometimes even Maurice Clarett does something so idiotic it just makes you shake your head and say, “Holy shit.”

That something happened in the wee morning hours today. Maurice Clarett made an illegal U-turn, and was caught by the police. Instead of pulling over, Maurice thought it was a good idea to try fleeing (knowing what we know now, it wasn’t too bad of an idea).

Big Mo entered the highway with police cruisers and a helicopter hot on his tracks. He then cut across the highway’s median. While fleeing westward, he ran over a spike strip. That essentially ended the chase after just under five minutes as the disgraced star pulled into a restaurant parking lot.

Not so fast; Maurice wasn’t done fighting. Instead of turning himself over to the police, he stayed in his SUV despite several orders from the officers. The officers were forced to “remove” him from his vehicle.

When the police tried using a stun gun to restrain Clarett (who was busy giving officers “problems”), they found he was wearing a bulletproof vest. The officers were forced to use mace on Clarett.

After Maurice Clarett was secured in the police vehicle, his SUV was searched. What they found was, oh, I don’t know, startling (to say the least).

In Maurice Clarett’s vehicle the officers found three loaded handguns and a loaded assault rifle.

Now I ask, what is Maurice Clarett doing with four loaded guns and a bulletproof vest? Unfortunately, only Maurice knows why. I can only hope we find out down the road.

If I were a betting man (which I am), I would say this latest incident effectively ends Maurice’s NFL chances. He wasn’t even good enough to make the Broncos roster minus these latest arrested (he also allegedly robbed a couple at gunpoint outside of the Opium Lounge).

Maurice might be glad to know one thing: “A half-full bottle of vodka was found in the SUV.”

Nice to know the law enforcement are “glass half-full” people... he’ll be spending quite a bit of time with them.
