According to a recent report by Profootballtalk.com, Atlanta Falcons wide reciever Eric Weems was arrested and jailed on November 16 for DUI. He was released the following day.
Although the arrest happened roughly a month ago, the Falcons were not made aware of the situation until Tuesday. “We became aware of Eric’s situation on Tuesday” said Falcons Head Coach Mike Smith. “We don’t like these kind of incidents and we’re dissapointed.”
The arrest comes merely days after Weems’ teammate Jonathan Babineaux was arrested for felony marijuana possession. This is simply another hit to a franchise that has dissapointed in what should have been a promising 2009 season.
