SeaHags UFA TE Stevens arrested DUI and Possesion...

[Woods]

continue to shoot themselves in the foot . . . .


Jerramy Stevens was arrested for DUI and marijuana possession Tuesday.
It's never a good idea to get arrested, but Stevens is currently an unrestricted free agent and just torpedoed the value of his next contract. Stevens admittedly had "four or five margaritas," according to police. Considering his history of drinking problems, including another DUI, Stevens may stay on the market for a while now.

And we let this guy get behind our secondary in the Playoffs . . . .

I think the Seahawks signed M. Pollard to replace Stevens (or at least get another body at the TE rotation).

He's been in and out of trouble since college.

Stevens was taken into custody Tuesday after being stopped by police officers near downtown Scottsdale and telling them he had "four or five margaritas" at a local bar.

LOL four or five margaritas and I drive great too.

They are treated different since grade school ...... so they start thinking they are untouchable .....

 

[burmafrd]

that is so true. When you have been coddled and praised and allowed to do pretty much as you want to for 10 years its hard to change. From say 8th or 9th grade they have gotten special treatment. 9-12; 4 years; 3 - 5 years in college; then the pros. Quite often not having to do homework; or much of any school work at all. Not having to get jobs or worry about a career that does not involve playing football. Constant fame and praise; girls all over you all the time. Its no wonder that so many have trouble.

Jerramy Stevens charged with hitting a man with a baseball bat and breaking his jaw, June 1998


"They were calling me 'Louisville Slugger' last year," he said.

Stevens can laugh now, but it wasn't so funny when he sat in ThurstonCounty Correctional Facility the summer before he entered the UW because he tested positive for marijuana while awaiting a court date to face assault charges. Stevens spent three weeks in jail

Stevens was charged with two counts of assault in a June 1998 fight at a park in suburban Olympia. He and a friend initially were accused of hitting a man with a baseball bat and kicking him in the face, breaking his jaw. Stevens was allowed to attend football training camp only after a judge signed an order releasing him from house arrest. Stevens eventually pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault for kicking the man. Prosecutors determined he had not acted as an accomplice of his friend, who was convicted of a more serious charge in the bat assault.



Jerramy Stevens charged with drugging and raping a 19-year-old girl, June 2000



Due to lack of evidence, Jerramy Stevens was charged with sexual assault, King County prosecutors announced.

"The investigation in this case was very thorough, and the facts are as well-developed as they could be. The facts do not, however, provide sufficient evidence to meet the statutory elements of rape in any degree," said King County Prosecutor Norm Maleng in a prepared statement.

According to police reports obtained last July, the alleged victim woke up the next morning, wearing nothing but a T-shirt and her bra, which were pushed down around her waist. The fleece jacket Stevens was wearing the night before was in her room, she told detectives.

She had been drinking and remembered having two drinks at the party, one of which was brought to her pre-opened.

Prosecutors said that because the alleged victim had been drinking, she could not remember "substantial portions" of the evening on June 3, including the events leading up to and specific details about the alleged assault, said Dan Donohoe, spokesman for the King County Prosecutor's office.

Under those circumstances prosecutors must prove that the victim was physically helpless or mentally incapable of consenting to sex, Donohoe said.

REMEMBER!

Across the country, collecting scientific evidence that women who were raped had been slipped these drugs has proven extraordinarily difficult.

The drugs move through the body quickly. Standard screenings in hospitals are unlikely to pick up these particular drugs. And because the drugs can make the victim black out, it often takes awhile for women to piece together what happened, delaying necessary tests.




Jerramy Stevens charged in hit-and-run, May 2001

Richard Stephens identified UW football player Jerramy Stevens as the driver of a truck that crashed into the wall below his window at a retirement home on 15th Avenue Northeast.

Richard Stephens, a 72-year-old Gardens resident who lives directly above the woman's apartment, said he called 911 while watching the driver scurrying to flee.
"I thought he was injured at first, then I thought he was drunk because he fell down a couple of times," Stephens said.

Shortly before 1 a.m., Stevens, 21, drove the red truck over shrubs and landscaping rocks, then rammed a side wall at Merrill Gardens at Northgate, 11501 15th Ave. N.E, according to a police report.

The truck ripped a hole in the wall and shattered a window in a bedroom where a 92-year-old woman was sleeping, managers said. The impact knocked a dresser onto the woman's bed, but she escaped injury.

A witness told police Stevens fell twice trying to free the pickup, eventually using books for leverage under its tires.



Jerramy Stevens DUI, sentenced to five days in jail and 40 hours of community service, June 2003


Judge Theresa Doyle said she was dismayed to see Jerramy Stevens in her courtroom again.

Doyle then backed her words with stern action yesterday, sentencing the Seahawks tight end to five days in jail and 40 hours of community service for violating his probation from a hit-and-run incident two years ago when Stevens was a student at the University of Washington.

"I really believed I wouldn't see you back here," Doyle told Stevens, who admitted violating his probation but said very little in the courtroom and declined to talk with reporters as he left the Municipal Court House.

"What I'm faced with now is trying to figure out how to deter you from doing this again," Doyle said, "because I thought the last time around, I'd really hit the nail on the head. Now you're back here again."

Stevens was appearing before Doyle again because he pleaded guilty Tuesday to reckless driving in Kirkland Municipal Court, after prosecutors agreed to drop a drunk driving charge stemming from an incident in On April 3, Stevens rolled his car through a stop sign and police found two open bottles of champagne on the floor of his vehicle.

In handing down the sentence, Doyle took into account the reckless driving charge, as well as Stevens' six other moving violations since July, and the original offense that led to the probation -- when Stevens rammed his truck into a nursing home in 2001.

"I am very sorry for violating my probation," Stevens told Doyle. "I have taken steps to make sure nothing like this will ever happen again."

This guy should be in jail and have his drivers liscense permanantly revoked!!!!!!!

 

[dogunwo]

Joey Porter was right....

Stevens is soft....

LOL. Please no one suggest we pickup this tool. I dont care how cheap we could get this bust. We have enough headaches on the team already.

 

[AbeBeta]

This guy should be in jail and have his drivers liscense permanantly revoked!!!!!!!

So he should receive a greater penalty than anyone else who committed the same crime?

Since it is not his 1st one yes he does need his license striped

In the state of Texas you can lose you license for the 1st one any ways

This happened in Scottsdale, Az. 2nd offense in Az is generally a 1 year suspension

 

[DallasEast]

The incident, which occurred around 2:20 a.m. Tuesday, isn't the first time that Stevens, 27, has run afoul of the law.

There should be a rule. If you're a pro athlete who happens to get into trouble with the law, and plays for the Ravens, Eagles, Falcons, Cardinals, Seahawks, Orioles, Blue Jays, Hawks, Penguins, Ducks and/or the Washington Capitols, any news articles about your infraction MUST include the word 'afoul'. It's fitting, dontcha think?

 

[arglebargle]

This guy just doesn't learn. He has messed up from college (probably earlier too) til now at age 27. That's the saddest part. Some people mess up and then 'get it' and change their ways. Not this guy.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him 'hammered' under the new conduct policies. Doubtless going to be suspended for some time anyway. If he thought he was going to get anything other than a vet minimum contract again......
