Does the “Don’t you recognize who I’m?” ploy really work for anybody after they’re being arrested? Probably so, or else so many well-known folks wouldn’t try it.
John Boyett isn’t precisely famous. Who right here has heard of him? OKAY, there’s our Oregon soccer fans. Oh, and some Colts followers too – kudos, since you are very into the Colts.
Boyett was a sixth-spherical select of Oregon. He was a very good safety for the Ducks, but didn’t play final yr due to accidents. That is why he slipped within the draft, or he might need been more of a household title.
But he hoped he was a family identify when he requested police not to arrest him.
Boyett, who is currently on the non-soccer damage/reserve record, meaning he’ll miss the primary six weeks of the season, tried to get into a bar in Indianapolis however was not let in (that doesn’t happen to Reggie Wayne or Andrew Luck, one would assume). He wasn’t let in because he was too intoxicated, the Indianapolis Star reported. Boyett refused to go away, so the cops had been known as in.
That’s when it acquired ugly.
The Star reported that Boyett’s “abusive behavior” included threatening to break an officer’s jaw, making fun of his hair and nostril, and when police tried to arrest him Boyett gave them a stiff arm and tried to run away. But here is the money quote:
“You can’t arrest me, I’m a Colts player,” Boyett mentioned repeatedly, in response to the police report.
Awesome.
Boyett reportedly suffered some accidents to his arm and elbow when he fell as he tried to run from the cops. The Star stated Boyett faces preliminary charges of disorderly conduct, public intoxication and resisting law enforcement. He was being held in Marion County Jail.
There are probably a number of lessons to be realized from this story, but one is likely to be: Do not try to make use of your celeb to get out of an arrest unless there’s really a chance the cops might truly know who you might be.
