I think that Randy has some anger issues to take care of. There he is minding his own business doing some city driving in his Lincoln Navigator and whats this ? a cop is directing traffic and standing in his way from making a left turn.
Well he is Randy Moss. Pro . Millionaire. Big cheese. PLy Sta 2 king.
So he rolls down his window and yells hey lady cop watch the hell out I am making a left turn here.
The cop looks back and says uh no you cant that street is closed right now. Randy says......to hell it is and makes the turn striking the lady officer in the leg with his bumper.
Uh oh.. How juvenile was that little act. Randy goes to Jail !
Randy goes to Jail ! Randy goes to Jail !
All the while Randy was being handcuffed he was heard to be saying..........DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM ! DO YOU KNOW HOW I AM ? YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME! I AM MR RANDY MOSS.
Do they put ppl in jail for being a__ holes ? Guess so.
Randys in jail , Randys in jail .

if moss does not play, i will be on the Vikes huge! not having him around will be the best thing for that team!
If it was anyone of us, we would be in jail awating trial and probably would get a nice long sentence.
My moneys on probation, a fine, and hes back on the field before two weeks are up. God damn shame the example these guys set for young kids.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Vikings star Randy Moss was charged with two misdemeanors Wednesday for an incident with a woman directing down traffic, with authorities declining a more serious felony assault charge.
Moss was charged with careless driving and failure to obey a traffic officer for Tuesday evening's incident. Witnesses told police he used his car to push the officer, who was trying to prevent him from making an illegal turn, a half-block before she fell to the ground.

Like acehistr8 said, charges have been dropped down to misdemeanors. It was just announced that Moss was just released from jail about a half hour ago, after spending about 20 hours there. They tested him for alcohol and drugs, and also had a search warrent for the car, but no results have been released. As of now, it is still not known if he will play this week or not.
Six hours ago he was just another punk arrested and charged with felony assult for running down a city parking official, after pushing her a half block with his car until she fell over.
Now hes Randy Moss, millionaire superstar, out of jail, charged with two misdemeanors and will get off scott free.
This shit makes me puke.

It sounds like it was a toxed contorl freak guard, Randy is clearly innocent. The Vikings lack of success comes from there unqualified coaching staff. Mike Tice is a LOSER. BTW Minneapolis is one of the worst towns in America, the homosexuality there is out of control.
HHM - u r one funny guy .... I guess we need someone else with a comic routine since beantownjim's departed and u fill that moronic role to perfection...
If the 'common man' had Moss' record and tried to pull this stunt it's highly unlikely they would've been walking saying they were "treated bad"

Moss charged with two misdemeanors and released

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Randy Moss walked out of jail whistling, charged with two misdemeanors instead of a possible felony for allegedly pushing a traffic officer a half-block with his car.
The Minnesota Vikings' star receiver was released Wednesday from the Hennepin County jail after spending the night there. He was charged with careless driving and failure to obey a traffic officer.
Police said they found a small quantity of marijuana in Moss' car, an amount that would qualify as a petty misdemeanor, but no charge was immediately filed.
Moss, who has a history of trouble on and off the field, had been arrested on suspicion of assault with a dangerous weapon, a felony.
He whistled as he left jail and walked through a pack of reporters.
``You'll hear my side later,'' Moss said. ``I was treated bad.''
After retrieving some belongings from a van, he left in a car.
Moss' arrest could keep him out of Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. The Vikings are off to an 0-3 start, their worst since 1967.
Early Tuesday night, the traffic agent stepped in front of Moss' car to stop him from making an illegal turn in downtown Minneapolis. Moss used his car to slowly push the officer along the street, stopping when she fell to the ground, police spokeswoman Cyndi Barrington said.
Barrington said 27-year-old Amy Zaccardi is a city employee but not a police officer and was not seriously hurt. Witnesses called the situation ``surreal'' but said it was clear Moss did not intend to hurt Zaccardi.
Vikings coach Mike Tice said he spoke briefly with Moss, who had asked his coach to get him out of jail. But Tice said he couldn't comment on the accusations.
``I can't go any further than to say I'm disappointed,'' Tice said.
Tice planned to sit down with Moss, his attorney and agent, along with Vikings owner Red McCombs, to ``address the situation accordingly.''
Tice said it was too early to decide whether Moss would play Sunday. Under NFL rules, Moss will undergo mandatory ``evaluation'' because he was charged with a crime. Any disciplinary action would follow a conviction or guilty plea.
Jerry Hullerman said he was parked near the intersection when he saw Moss driving his car.
``I saw a really decked-out Lexus pushing the traffic person along,'' said Hullerman, who was also interviewed by police. ``It was really surreal.''
He said Zaccardi was facing forward while sitting on the front of the car with one hand on the hood and the other hand on her radio as the car pushed her along.
After a few seconds, Hullerman said, the man in the car tapped the accelerator and knocked her down.
``She fell flat on her face,'' Hullerman said, adding that the driver didn't get out of his car.
Hullerman said squad cars arrived seconds later and officers took Moss into custody.
''(Moss) was going really slow,'' said Robert Nelson, another witness. ``Apparently, he didn't want to hurt her. I think he was just trying to frighten her into moving.''
The 25-year-old Moss has been in trouble before. He squirted a referee with a water bottle in 1999 -- which resulted in a $25,000 fine from the NFL -- and verbally abused corporate sponsors on the team bus in 2001. The last infraction resulted in the team fining him $15,000 and forcing him to attend anger management classes.
He had a scholarship revoked by Notre Dame in 1995 after being charged with beating up a high school classmate in Rand, W.Va. Moss pleaded guilty to battery and was sentenced to 30 days in jail. He was allowed to defer most of the sentence until after his freshman year in college.
He went to Florida State, where he redshirted his freshman season but was kicked off the team for violating probation by smoking marijuana. That got him a one-year jail sentence, which was reduced to about one month of time served.
Virtually out of chances, Moss walked on at Marshall and quickly became a star.
Moss is in his fifth year with the Vikings and is the team's highest-paid player. He signed an eight-year, $75 million contract last year.
He set an NFL record with 5,396 yards receiving in his first four seasons as a pro and is the only wide receiver with more than 1,000 yards receiving in each of his first four seasons. Moss has scored more touchdowns since his 1998 debut than anyone except St. Louis running back Marshall Faulk.
Moss caught just four passes for 16 yards in Sunday's loss to Carolina.
CTG - sorry man, still don't know if he'll play Sunday. I was going to back the Vikes anyway, like it better still now...

Channel 11 out of Mineapolis just reported that Moss will start and play this week against Seattle.
I don't get it. A felony charge is quickly reduced to two misdemeanors. Randy walks away and plays Sunday. I guess everyone has his price.
I agree Goatman,
What kind of message does that send. Commit a felony and get off with a slap on the wrist, then get paid Sunday after embarassing the team, players, coaches.
Things that make you go HMMMMMM!!!:shrug:

First Iverson, now Moss. If it was any of us, we'd still be locked up on felony charges. Un-friggin-believable how sports superstars think the world revolves around them and can get away with everything, and why not?? They ARE getting away with everything.
No doubt in my mind that joint was Moss's, but that will get swept up under the rug, as well, I'm sure.
