vmax Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 He set a great example for his players.... Poor life choices that lead to run-ins with police aren't the sole refuge of the NFL player. Front-office types are also capable of regrettable decisions with legal implications that embarrass them and their employers. Take Matt Russell, the Broncos' Director of Player Personnel. According to CBS4 in Denver, Russell was arrested and jailed over the weekend after police say he was suspected of being involved in an accident in Frisco, Colo. Then, a few minutes later in Breckenridge, Colo., Russell crashed again, this time ... into a police cruiser. Any time anybody is impaired and hits a fully marked police car that person should not have been driving in the first place, Colorado State Trooper Nate Reid said via CBS4. It's a dangerous profession. Russell was arrested at the scene. The Breckenridge officer was hospitalized and later released with what were described as minor injuries. CBS4 reported that Russell was charged with driving under the influence, careless driving resulting in injury, having an open container of alcohol in his car and failure to display proof of insurance. Russell posted a $1,000 bond and was released from jail on July 7, a day after his arrest. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/eye-on-football/22685768/report-broncos-executive-matt-russell-arrested-facing-dui-charges They should test him for pot.
