Titus young arrested
Titus young arrested, Titus Young’s troubled career took another turn for the worst over
the weekend when he was arrested twice in the span of about 14 hours.
Young, the former Lions receiver who was released a day after the Super Bowl, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence at 12:01 a.m. Sunday after police stopped him making an illegal left turn, then again at 2:22 p.m. for attempted burglary for allegedly trying to steal his own car
out of a California tow yard, Sgt. Lisa McConnell of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said.Young was released after signing a promise to appear on the misdemeanor DUI charge, and it wasn’t clear if he remains in custody on the felony burglary charge, McConnell said.
A phone message left for Young’s father, Richard, was not returned tonight, and Young’s former high school coach, E.C. Robinson, said he hasn’t spoken to Young since late March.
“Based on the last time I did see him, I knew unless he got some help there was going to be some issues, and I told him that, too,” Robinson said. “And I thought maybe since I hadn’t heard anything from him he was in some institute getting some help. That’s what I just figured. But I know the last time I saw him, I was just shocked the stage he was in at that time.”
And what stage was that?
“He was talking some things that just didn’t make sense,” Robinson said. “I don’t know, I just wish he’d get some help. I know football is probably out of the question, right now it’s trying to get his life together.”
A second-round pick in 2011, Young caught 81 passes in 26 career games for the Lions but was suspended from the team three times last year.
His problems boiled over in a November loss to the Packers, when he purposely lined up in the wrong spot on the field. He was sent home a day later, welcomed back the following week, then banished for good when he remained a distraction upon his return.
Young’s most recent problems started when he made an illegal left turn in his black Ford Mustang directly in front of a Moreno Valley Police Department patrol car, according to Riverside County police.
McConnell said the jail Young was booked in is about 20 miles from the tow yard where his car was housed when a witness called Moreno Valley Police to report an adult male scaling a fence of the tow company’s storage area.
Officers found Young in the tow yard and determined he was attempting to take his vehicle back, according to police.
McConnell said she had no indications that Young, who lives in Los Angeles, was uncooperative after his arrests, and these were the first two times he’s been arrested in Riverside County.
