LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Janarius Robinson was arrested February 6 for driving under the influence, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department confirmed.
Police made the arrest in the 3700 block of Las Vegas Boulevard on the Las Vegas Strip at 5:59 a.m. Robinson was driving a black pick-up truck at the time. Police say a female passenger and security footage confirm this.
He was arrested following a failed field sobriety test administered by police. He refused a blood test but authorities say they were granted a warrant for one later on.
One of the reasons the responding officers gave justifying the arrest was the physical smell of alcohol coming from Robinson's person.
Robinson's tenure with the Raiders has been short. He was signed to the active roster in December and had just inked a one-year contract with the Silver and Black a few days before the arrest.
Before he was picked up by the Raiders, Robinson, 25, spent two seasons with the Minnesota Vikings and one with the Philadelphia Eagles.
