APLast month, the Ravens signed defensive back Victor Hampton, an undrafted free agent in 2014. He likely will be cut before he ever shows up for an offseason training session.
According to WSOC-TV, Hampton has been arrested on charges of driving while intoxicated in Charlotte. He reportedly was driving 100 miles per hour in a 55-mph zone on Interstate 77. Hampton’s blood-alcohol content was determined to be 0.10 percent, above the legal limit of 0.08.
Under the revised substance-abuse policy, Hampton, who initially was signed by the Bengals and who spent time on the Giants’ practice squad last year, faces a two-game suspension, if ultimately found to be responsible for driving while intoxicated. To be suspended, however, he first has to be on a regular-season roster. Given the new charges, that may never happen.
I went undrafted, can play defensive back, and, have no arrests. Sign me up, I’ll do it for $30k!
Yep, you know those Ravens. They simply don’t tolerate players who break laws.
Must have been in the offseasonn training program for the Ravens
Ravens are the new bengals….. Tell the owner not to worry about other teams contracts but focus on his player (criminals) phinsup
Won’t crucify a guy for this. Just stupid on his part but that is part of being that age. Not me though, I had my ducks in a row at all times.
No arrests for Hampton until becoming a baltimore raven.
How about an update on the doctor rydze trial?!?
He gone….:
Seriously, being all liquored up and going 45 mph over the speed limit……………..is it really that big of deal?
And he’s been cut.
NFL’s version of The Wire stays true to form
The Breathalizer test, soon to replace the Wundeleic.
You almost made it. Oh well, we all make mistakes.
Oh look another raven getting in trouble with the law no shocker here
If anything, an arrest will give him some street cred in that organization.
Stay classy Baltimore.
At least when they welcome him back it won’t be from a double murder and a missing white suit.
Surprising shorTage of Ravens fans posting.
Ravens sign him, he gets a DUI, gets cut after never even being sized for a uniform he is cut. Pile on Ravens haters.
Just noticed the Days with No Arrest meter was up to 24 this morning.
Thought that number seemed kinda high.
😉
He can’t get the Bungal out of him.
Actually, I’m rather impressed that you located a photo of an undrafted rookie cut from a practice squad.
When will these knuckleheads start to get the message. Just like the guy in “Cool Hand Luke” said…”Some men you just can’t reach.”
Good luck in the unemployment line Mr. Hampton.
Why a lot of players are too dumb, if you are a fringe player keep your nose clean, if you are a top dawg you may get some chances, though nowadays that is becoming quite hard.

===============================
an all pro seasoned vet would have put that vehicle into something solid, would have passed out but still been able to keep that gas pedal to the metal. rookies…
He blew .1 legal limit.08…
that means 1 beer cost this guy a shot at the NFL….

If it was a Guiness than it was totally worth it
classic raven. learning from rice and the master
ray ” white suit ” lewis
The ravens are already back in the news for criminal activity. That didn’t take long.
100 mph in a 55 zone? when you know you had a few drinks and could possibly blow near or above the limit? I guess you really can’t fix stupid.
Haha all the Ravens haters… Just making yourselves look like idiots. He signed a reserve deal a month ago and was nothing more than a camp body. Never got a uniform, never attended a practice, and was arrested in Charlotte.
Signed by the Bengals, spent last year with the Giants, but yea he’s a Raven.
Idiots.
Oh no Gödel now has to act on the Ravens. Hairbaugh will be whining, Bill-I-cheat again is somewhere laughing.
When the Ravens put up his statue?
It is hard to believe that this guy who never played a down, had a number assigned to him, participated in a practice or spent any time at the castle was already infected with whatever these trolls think the Ravens gave him to cause him to blow .01. It must be some pretty powerful stuff.
Fanboys are so funny.
If you quizzed them about this article, the only thing they would remember is “Ravens” and “DUI”. LOL. This guy has never so much as attended an OTA or put on a Ravens helmet. Ever. Other than putting his signature on a piece of paper, he has nothing whatsoever to do with the Ravens. There’s a good chance that the day he signed his contract is the only time he’s ever even been in the facility, and maybe not even then.
I’m not even a Ravens fan, but you guys are ridiculous.
What, no smartass Josh Gordon comments from the RatBird fans???
Reap what you sow…

================================
Sure, dude. As you wish, here is the information you’ve requested for the last year. Just for giggles, I threw in battery as well as assault.
Oh, and in their 20 year history, the Ravens have never had a player convicted of murder.
2/3/15: Colts LB D’Qwell Jackson is arrested for assault.
2/2/15: NFL Media analyst Warren Sapp is arrested for solicitation and assault.
1/14/15: Colts LB Josh McNary is charged with rape, criminal confinement, and battery.
1/5/15: Saints LB Junior Galette is arrested for simple battery related to domestic violence.
10/22/14: Broncos S John Boyett is charged with misdemeanor assault.
7/21/14: Eagles S Keelan Johnson is arrested for assaulting a police officer, passively resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct.
7/20/14: Rams LB Jo-Lonn Dunbar is arrested for battery and disorderly conduct.
5/22/14: Broncos S T.J. Ward has arrest warrant issued for assault and disturbing the peace on May 9.
4/27/14: Bears WR Josh Morgan is charged with assault.
3/9/14: Ravens OL Jah Reid is arrested on two counts of battery.
Just because you don’t like the Ravens doesn’t mean they are any more or less guilty that any other team that you root for in the trailer park.
If the Ravens do cut him, most likely the Steelers will pick him up. They’re desperate in the secondary, and much less discriminating about who plays for them.
Another example of a Classy Organization with Outstannding employees…..
…meanwhile Hernandez trial still underway to put him away for life for murdering 3 people. #thepatriotway
100 mph? Probably best he’s not on the Ravens, this guy is way too fast to play in that slow and trodding defense.
