APThe “days without an arrest” meter can now be reset to zero, for the first time in the 2011 offseason.
Broncos running back Laurence Maroney has been arrested on weapons charges in St. Louis, according to KMOV-TV.
A St. Louis native, Maroney was in a vehicle with three other men when the arrest occurred.
Maroney, a first-round pick of the Patriots in 2006, was traded to the Broncos in 2010. He appeared in four games, starting three and gaining only 74 yards on 36 carries, a 2.1 yards-per-carry average.
Perhaps he prefers running out of, yes, shotgun formation.

Now that his career is over it’s a good thing he has that college education to fall back on.
Just another Donkey.
I’m curious to see how Elway and Fox respond to this. First big test for the new management.
So what else is new.
stay classy
Maybe, he is a Teabagger bringing his stash to a rally:)
Naw…he’s black. Teabaggers wouldn’t let him into their “club”:(
A big thank you to Josh McDaniels for trading for this useless guy. As a Pats fan, I don’t miss him at all.
Your honor, I cannot tell a lie….
Didn’t Josh McDaniels give the Pats a 3rd for him in his last year of his contract? What did he do in Denver, nothing. Larry, you will be lucky to see another contract!!
Thumbs down to all political replies on a football site.

“A big thank you to Josh McDaniels for trading for this useless guy. As a Pats fan, I don’t miss him at all.”
Wow, McDaniels just keeps on giving, doesn’t he?
What’s a college education when you have felonies on your record?
Nice trade, Broncos
It wasn’t that long ago that fantasy football “experts” were raving about the guy, though he had never done anything in the pros. And to top it off, many of those “experts” did it AGAIN in 2009.
These Kids are never gonna learn
he got it cheap on Ebay from a guy who calls himself eplaxico, or something.
Lawrence Maroney = Worthless
Bronco’s 4th Rd Pick = Priceless
Thanks guys.
“Dangerous weapons”
They sure ain’t talkin’ about his legs.
Maroney may have been a bust in New England, but it took a trade to the Donks to make him a thug.
He just would not let Tebow pray over him to cast out those demons.
Shocking.. Laurence Maroney is still in the NFL?
Ha, we have African-Americans in the Tea party. We usually have our guns on us legally, which rules out Baloney. He’s just another thug with a Glock stuffed into his Costco sweat pants.
Hey hey! Guess who wasn’t going to be resigned anyway?
You know, it is not that difficult to get the proper training and documentation to carry a firearm. Why can’t these guys get the picture and do it right…
He joins Maurice Clarette and Travis Henry in the proud tradition of Denver running back failures.
How many o’s are there in stooooooooooooooooooooooooooooopid?
“Perhaps he prefers running out of, yes, shotgun formation.” No, more likely the “Pistol.”
This trade was right up there with the fleecing of the Vikes.
Love it!
As I understand it, Maroney told the officer before he checked his vehicle that he has a gun and showed a legal permit. So why exactly did he get arrested? This is still America, right? 2nd Amendment still applies.

Yep, the TEA Party certainly hates blacks. Like that darn Herman Cain, and black Congressmen Tim Scott (R-SC) and Allan West (R-FL). They’re not too fond of the Jews either, such as Mark Levin.
Wait…what’s that you say? The TEA Party actually helped elect Reps. Scott and West? And many of them count Messrs. Cain and Levin as examples of great leadership in this new Conservative uprising?
It can’t be true. It was all made up by Faux News, right (aka correct)?
This makes no sense. He was arrested on weapons charges, but was able to show his documentation. He was legally carrying a firearm. Maroney wasn’t charged with any crime, therefore he wasn’t arrested. He may have been temporarily detained, but not arrested. Would the time official please reset the clock to the previous amount of days without an arrest?
I’m no Maroney fan–but this is a non-story. Is PFT so eager to change the clock on the arrest meter, it has to publish this tripe?
“Mr. Maroney was unlawfully arrested for possession of weapons. He holds a permit to carry a concealed weapon and he had his permit on his person when he was arrested. He was not arrested for any drugs nor was he involved in a high speed chase. He was released without being charged with any offense and we do not anticipate he will be charged with any criminal offense.”
