Los Angeles Rams receiver Demarcus Robinson was arrested early Monday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence after California police allege he was driving over 100 mph just hours after the team’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.
Officers with the California Highway Patrol observed Robinson, 30, driving a white Dodge sedan “traveling in excess of 100 miles per hour” on U.S. Route 101 going northbound at around 5:10 a.m., according to a news release.
