UPDATE: According to the arrest report obtained by TMZ Sports, Las Vegas Raiders defensive lineman wasn’t actually pulled over for DUI on Tuesday. That’s because police found him found passed out behind the wheel of his still-running 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Not only that, Vegas police wrote in the report, but his SUV was parked where it had “almost rolled off a four foot retaining wheel.”
In addition, the cops reported banging on his windows to awaken him several times, but that he would “fall back asleep” repeatedly. After about 10 minutes, according to the report, he finally got up, then turned off and exited his vehicle, at which point officers noted that he smelled from alcohol and had trouble balancing.
The only comment the Raiders have made so far was to say that they “will not comment further as this is a legal matter.”
Snowden is due in court for arraignment on Tuesday.
Snowden was booked into the Clark County Detention Center and released, according to KLAS-TV/Las Vegas, which broke the story Wednesday night.
Snowden wasn’t required to appear in court after his arrest or to post bond, nor did he have a probable cause hearing before his release or a scheduled arraignment.
According to Nevada law, individuals found guilty of the offense with which he is charged could face up to six months in prison. Additionally, if Snowden is found to have been driving with an alcohol concentration of 0.18% or higher in his blood or breath, a treatment program is mandated.
Las Vegas police stopped Snowden, 26, after receiving a report about a suspicious vehicle. His alcohol concentration hasn’t yet been reported.
Snowden, who most recently played in last Sunday’s game against Tampa Bay in Florida, is in his second season with the Raiders. He entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2021, spending time with practice squads for the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers before signing with the Raiders’ squad last December.
He made his Raiders debut this season, playing in all 13 games, with seven starts, 30 tackles, and 1.5 sacks.
Uncertain Future
Snowden’s future with the organization is now a question mark. It is not known whether he participated in the Raider’s walkthrough on Wednesday, which was closed to the media. The Raiders aren’t responding to requests for comment.
Last year, the Raiders cut safety Roderic Teamer one day after his DUI arrest. This was considered a stern rebuke for the drunk driving with which the franchise has had an unfortunate recent history.
In November 2021, first-round Raiders draft pick Henry Ruggs killed 23-year-old Tina Tintor and her dog while driving drunk on a Las Vegas surface street, on which he reached a speed of up to 156 mph. He is currently serving 3-10 years in prison.
