Jason Peters busted in Louisiana

Posted by Mike Florio on March 26, 2011, 10:59 PM EDT

The lockout lock-up continues.

Two weeks and one day into the work stoppage, five players have been arrested.  The latest?  Eagles tackle Jason Peters, who was popped Friday in Shreveport, Louisiana for loud music and disturbing the peace, according to KSLA-TV.

He’s the second Eagles tackle to be arrested this month.  On March 4, King Dunlap was arrested for reckless driving and disorderly conduct.

  2. I know the type of people that get arrested for loud music… Ussually there was flippen 10 warnings from the neighbors and after the cops finally show up the moron probably told the cops to lock it up and leave..

    sucks for him… making the news over a radio…

    Doohhhh!!!!

  3. Is that his mug shot from the police station or his Eagles team photo? Either way, he sure looks like somebody a NFL owner would want to partner with in owning a franchise.

    NOT!

  4. Jason Peters is a bum on and off the field… You can count on him for one thing only: leading the league in false starts. I wish the Eagles could have gotten a smarter tackle with the picks they gave up

  11. It’ll be interesting to see how many of these players get in trouble with the law since the don’t have games to prepare for.

  12. king dunlap was arrested for having his car parked in front of a store (or stadium?) and refusing to move it because his father (or uncle?) is disabled and he didnt want him to have to walk to the car. they act like these two are bad dudes. dont get me wrong there are a lot of bad dudes that have been arrested in the nfl but these two aint like that.

  13. Freakin loud music? Gees, even the cops are getting sick of the lockout… loud music, sagging pants, “disorderly conduct”? What’s next, infractions for bad language?

  14. Ridiculous. Whatever happened to “turn down the music, sir.” …reminder..NFL players off season home should be west, eastcoast only..stay out of the South.

  16. I thought that the Eagles realized that Peters has been robbing them & called it in, now let’s make some noise!!

  17. wish bills fans had half the class u philly fans had twrd ur players!! if that had been merriman or whitner,they wld be calln 4 his head in front of city hall!! lets go philly!!!

  18. JP has never proven to be the sharpest knife in the drawer. I hate how many Eagles are getting busted recently. The team has good overall character, but man. This isn’t good.

  21. How do you get arrested for that? Just turn the music down until the cops leave. Further more, what kind of cop actually takes the time to arrest someone for loud music, isn’t somebody committing a real crime somewhere.

  22. “busted” is a pretty strong word for this, I think “cited” would be more appropriate. He’ll pay his fine and that will be that.

  23. I was hoping Peters got arrested for something good as i cant stand him for what he did in buffalo plus i hate all eagle players by default. But lets say loud music wasnt what i was hoping for, i mean seriously? Thats getting busted?

  25. You know, i go out and have a few drinks with my buddys, and i come home and go onto this website hoping for some good news about the labor situation, and i get this?? Loud music? Thats like me getting arrested for wearing a bright sweater. Now pft is reaching for any story they can get, but who can blame them? Im no where near the excitement i usually feel during the offseason and it sucks. The lockout is affecting the fans and putting a black eye on the game. In the words of the late great colonel sanders, im too drunk to taste this chicken.

  26. Busted? For playing his music too loud? Busted? What an outlaw! Not too sure there is s real story here.

  27. It figures that league-shill handlethehandles would find some reason to insult a player over loud music. STFU.

  29. Having gone to school for Criminal Justice and being extremely familiar with penal codes in quite a few states, I’d love to know how you arrest someone for disturbing the peace on a noise violation.

    This wasn’t even disorderly conduct, it was an ordinance violation. You give that out to a kid with subwoofers in his car along with a $110 fine.

    Apparently they do things differently in Louisiana than they do in Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Massachusetts, Delaware and the District of Columbia.

    I’d hate to spit in public down there.

  31. How do you get arrested for loud music???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????!

  33. Now the players all have too much free time & too much money. This is just the tip of a very big (pun intended) iceberg. Perhaps every team should put ” prison orange” into their uniform colors.

  35. 1st Bryant is kicked out of the mall for sagging, and now Peters arrested for loud music? This is the type of behavior I expect from a high school student.

  36. Peter’s is another player whose Wonderlic score is considerably below his age.

  37. Christ….Isn’t he like 30 years old?….What 30 year old gets busted for driving around playing music and disteurbing the peace….Grow the hell up….

  39. I’m betting it wasn’t Kenny Chesney tunes. And he’s lucky he wasn’t wearing saggers or they’d probably shot him dead.

  40. He was listening to Sportscenter on ESPN Radio to fond out the latest info on the lockout. But the cops bust him for noise violation? Well, I guess mist of the things being said about the the lockout amount to a noise violation.

    He probably can’t hear the snap. All the loud music damaged his ears.

  42. i have thrown numerous parties over the years… one in peticular when i was 21 with hundreds of people in a neighborhood with plenty of neighbors, i was never arrested even though there were cars lined up the street on both sides of the road going all four ways at the intersection and went all the way to the entrance… and i live DEEP in the neighborhood, i had 8 cop cars at my house and NEVER came close to getting arrested… just had a bunch of people leave, the only time i had trouble was when i was 18 in Ocean City and was underage and we had a noise complaint… and STILL we only got citations… well… everyone else did… i rolled out the back door! and i was the one who answered the front door when they arrived! (my friends still hate me for it) but basically what im getting at is that nowadays being a celebrity is like have a big red target on your forehead cuz every officer is trying to make a name for themselves and arresting a celebrity or professional athlete is the thing to do… kinda sucks if you ask me

  43. The loud music at least explains his false starts. He’s so damn deaf that he can’t hear the snap count. I would say that he had probably been warned time and again and then decided to shoot his mouth off at the cop. He probably “false started” with ” DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM”?

  45. who is this guy….. must be a lower end player… looks like he cant afford a hair cut..

    ======================

    And because you were there, you know for a fact that they didn’t ask him to turn down the music first, and only arrested him after a previous warning?

    Thanks for clearing that up for all of us who weren’t fortunate enough to be there when it happened.

  47. My son was 18 when was giving a ticket for loud music….they will not arrest you for Loud Music…there’s more to this story,I promise you!!!

    king dunlap was arrested for having his car parked in front of a store (or stadium?) and refusing to move it because his father (or uncle?) is disabled and he didnt want him to have to walk to the car.

    No, he got arrested for having his vehicle parked on a sidewalk/pedestrian plaza in front of the arena and generally acting like a jerk when they asked him to use the designated location for picking up disabled patrons instead.

    Sure, it doesn’t make him a career criminal. But how uncooperative do you have to be to let it get to the point of getting the cuffs slapped on you when all you have to do is move your damn car and follow the same rules as everyone else?

  50. I am amused by all of the people on here saying they can’t believe he got arrested for just playing his music too loudly.

    He was arrested for “loud music AND disturbing the peace”. Not “disturbing the peace by playing loud music”.

    First off, the way that is worded, in and of itself, indicates that there is more to the story.

    Secondly, everyone who lives in the real world knows that cops have a wide range of discretion for these types of violations and typically only make arrests when there is some sort of aggravating factor. Believe it or not, arresting people for this kind of stuff is a pain in the a** for cops, and not something they want to spend all of their time doing.

    Thirdly, I think it is fairly well established that professional athletes tend to react a little differently than the average citizen when confronted with authority.

    Taking those factor into account, shouldn’t we maybe wait to rush to judgement that the cops overreacted?

  52. The police also threw a flag on Peters for a false start;
    Father Of the Year Andy Reid bailed out Peters and his son from jail last night.

  53. It is a shame that morons like terrelblowens are permitted to make comments that are unfactual. No matter what he did wrong., he is not a bum. Mr goofus terrelblowens or whatever your handle is…….He is ALL PRO…stupid

    —————————————————–
    It was a two for one deal. He was already there picking up Peters and decided to go ahead throw up some cash for his kid. The bondsman probably has automatic debit set up with Reids card by now.

  55. He clearly did something else. You don’t get arrested for playing your music too loud unless you’re having Woodstock 2011 in a quiet residential neighborhood. P.S. This guy is a bum, screwed over the Bills, got greedy, let the money go to his head even though the Bills brought him up from an undrafted free agent TE and made him into “a pro bowl OT”. No loyalty, guys like this are why I hate most professional sports athletes.

  56. Moderators, just because you’re 12 and never heard the classic rock song “Me and Bobby McGee” is no justification for censoring a line asking if he was busted flat in Baton Rouge. I mean, please please tell me where in that line you found any obscenities or offensive material. Good grief. 🙄

  57. The plucky intern is highly sensitive to any potential for an insult to be perceived by someone somewhere sometimes, doesn’t like vibrant writing, or is fulfilling a pluck quota for month’s end.

  58. @Danfromwestlake

    Really? You’re going to play the race card? Sad how unacceptable behavior is chalked up as racism.

  60. i love how people talk about andy reid and his children. like you have any idea what is going on with his family. and i forgot you are perfect. why so miserable?

    andy reid wont even say the word hell. seriously, he always says heck. if he is going crazy he will say hell.
