Everson Griffen Nut Grab Led to Tasing

February 1, 2011 by Larry Brown • Comments

Whoo boy, Everson Griffen may have only registered 11 tackles for the Minnesota Vikings this season, but his performance on Monday easily was good enough to land him on all the highlight shows. Griffen completed the criminal trifecta: he was pulled over for a traffic stop, evaded police, allegedly assaulted an officer, and then was subdued with a Taser. The LA Times had the key detail of the event, reporting that Griffen allegedly grabbed the officer in the groin and that’s why the Taser came out.

I don’t know about you, but one tug on my sausage is enough to break out the electrical current too.

Now if you’re wondering why Griffen was so ornery about a routine stop, it’s because he did not want to go back to jail, as he told the officers. What could we mean? TMZ Sports learned that Griffen was also booked for being drunk in public in Hollywood on Friday evening, making Monday’s affair his second arrest in three days.

Bail has been set at 50 g’s for Griffen, and if someone is kind enough to bail him out he can go for the coveted arrest trifecta of three in the same week. Now that would be quite impressive.
