Henry Melton Arrested

Texas defensive end Henry Melton got arrested last night. Of course, you probably still think of him as the running back that was supposed to be the next BIG thing, but that didn't work out so they switched him to the other side of the ball.

Melton was around 6th Street last night at 2:30 when an officer pulled him over after noting that his truck was driving in an unsafe manner, according to the AP

After being charged with DWI, he was taken to Travis County Jail, from which he was released after posting a $1,500 personal recognizance bond early this morning.

I was on sixth last night, just from about 2:10 a.m. to 2:40 a.m. because I was DDing for my roommates, and with the biker rally going on in Austin right now, there was just a weird, aggressive vibe that you could feel. Motorcyclists were busy reminding everyone why they're so annoying, and three cars drove in a tight circle around my truck parked at a gas station with the accelerators on the floor. I was hoping that at least one of them would have their back end whip around, and that they'd slide into the station's building, but I wasn't so lucky.

Anyway, all that to say that yes, Melton seems to have screwed up. But last night, any number of Austinites could have been arrested and in his shoes. Everyone was driving like they were three sheets to the wind.
