Andre Hall Arrested

[bronco militia]

The latest guy to get busted is Broncos running back Andre Hall, who was arrested on Tuesday in Florida for violation of Section 322.34(2)(A) of the state's statutes. It's a misdemeanor charge for driving with a revoked, suspended, or canceled driver's license.

Hall was booked and released on Tuesday in Pinellas County.

Andre Hall of Fame.

Best. Nickname. Ever!

[Ratboy]

He'll probably be cut anyways.

[broncofan7]

Good grief.......

[Meck77]

I'll say it again. Broncos benefit package to players should include limousine service or some sort of taxi service at the very least. Yeah these guys have money to order them up on their own but for some reason they aren't utilizing them. If they had the perk of a discrete company to help them out if they were drunk I would think they would use it.

It would save our guys a lot of time and money in the court system and keep our organization on the up and up. Not to mention the safety factor of the players driving drunk.

In a case like Hall who doesn't have the ability to drive himself anywhere I don't think the Broncos should absorb the full cost of his transportation though. I'm just talking in special cases, night out on the town etc.

Hall isn't the only guy to drive on a suspended license. He'll learn his lesson hopefully.

[cmhargrove]

He'll probably be cut anyways.

He's cheap, and he plays good special teams. A minor license infraction is not a "character flaw."

[PRBronco]

OMG character concerns Shanahan is an idiot why does he draft these guys omg worst drafter evar.

K it's out of the way, go away telluride!

Andre, pull your head out of your butt dude.

[2KBack]

driving on a suspended license is nothing. Hell, I got in trouble for it once when I forgot to pay a fine. I had my license suspended, didn't know, and when I got in a fender bender got in toruble. Same thing happened to a friend of mine, but it was because there was a billing problem with his insurance. It's not like Driving without a license is a dangerous crime people, it doesn't make a guy a character case. Please back away from the edge.

[dbfan4life]

So he was driving with a suspended license? What's the big deal? What does that have to do with character? Cheese 'n rice folks, get a life.

C'mon. guys. Have a little compassion. Telluride's got a character flaw with a pi$$ poor environmental support system. Fellow had a tough time with potty training and he was always picked on at school. His lunch money has fed many a bully. He deserves....... im......whatever he gets, I guess........

On topic, Hall is currently number three and may be less than that if the Broncos pick a RB in the fourth......

I have a couple friends that work for a Beverage Distribution center. They all receive a Taxi Card. If your to drunk to drive call the taxi they will take you home and arrange a time to come back and get you in the morning either for work or to go get your car.

It is an awesome perk I wish my job did.

Why was his license suspended?

[Mountain Bronco]

Give it a rest people. You can have a suspended license for any variety of reasons, such as failure to pay a ticket and you wouldn't even know it was suspended. This is like jay walking you freaks.

Meck, what does a suspended license have to do with drunk driving?

[bronco militia]

Meck, what does a suspended license have to do with drunk driving?


he could have a suspended license for a previous DUI

[Meck77]

Meck, what does a suspended license have to do with drunk driving?

Nothing at all. I didn't say it did.

My point was that you have a bunch of young guys on our team getting in trouble with the law and maybe this could be mitigated if one of their perks of their job was some transportation. Take the example that Denver Broncos JM gave.

Hall basically got a ticket. I wasn't making a big deal out of it. However if he does it again I'm sure the penalties will be much stiffer.

Personally I think these guys should be able to figure out how to get around town like the rest of us. However the nature of their jobs, and the nature of their pay scale puts them under a microscope. If I was their boss I'd do what I could to keep them out of trouble and give them some options. I'm sure there are things that Bowlen does for them that we never hear about but it does seem like transportation issues keep coming up for our team. That is all I'm saying.

I do like your idea JM. Taxi cards is very simple and something a guy could fall back on in a pinch. Cheap effective solution that could even save a life.:thumbs:

[2KBack]

Why was his license suspended?

it doesn't say. You can be confidant that if it was anything as bad as a DUI then it would have been reported, or we would have heard about the previous arrest.

[tsiguy96]

ahhh the joys of being a celebrity, you have a bunch of morons criticizing you on a message board for doing something as simple as getting a ****ing ticket. give me a break.

That's a great fricking ideal, might not of helped Andre in Florida but the benefit to our players during the regular season would be priceless.

[Hotrod]

Who does this guy think he is. Is he better then us just because hes a 3rd tier RB? He should get some serious time for this serious crime. This kind of activity screams of drug abuse. I for one would not be surprised to find this kid smoking cigs on meth alley within 2 years.

his Mom probably never told him to get back in line

[BroncoBuff]

Son, you missed Shanahan's season-ending press conference. According to Mike, Andre Hall is a monster KR, and missed by mere inches taking three separate returns to the house. To be honest, I felt Shanny was overstating that as rationalization for letting Hixon go (Hixon had just returned a kickoff for a Giants TD that week), but even so - Shanahan was pretty positive on Hall. I'm thinkig Hall is a lock at #3 RB. I just wish Henry would re-negotiate so we don't have to waste a precious draft pick on a rookie RB ... Henry, Young and Hall would be a sweet 1-2-3.


Please understand everybody: As militia was inferring, the charge "driving on a suspended license" is the least serious misdemeanor anywhere in criminal law. Until the late 80s, it was simple "infraction," like jaywalking, disturbing the peace, or driving on an 'expired' license. The reason driving on a 'suspended' license was criminalized is entirely due to MADD (Mothers Againts Drunk Drivers). MADD lobbied, and rightly so, that DUI offenders were getting off too easily with mere traffic tickets when the were caught driving after their licenses were suspended for DUIs. So they lobbied every state in the union, and when I was last practicing law five years ago, more than 40 states had criminalized the offense.

So - logic dictates then - that unless Hall's licesnse was suspended for an alcohol related driving offense, this is a non-story, in fact it's not a story at all. If his license was suspended because, for example, he didn't pay the Florida license fee because he was busy working in Colorado, then this story is not even as big as a speeding ticket.

[tsiguy96]

And just think you are on that board what does that make you :D

im not criticizing every move these guys make, i watch them play the game, i dont judge them non stop for their off field issues because guess what, no one is perfect, as much as you want them to be.

[Pat Bowlen]

Everybody calm down, we have ways of dealing with punks like Andre:

Is that photo from your meeting with Coach Shanahan last week, sir?

[Florida_Bronco]

Not a big deal. Hell, I'm surprised PCSO even took him to jail for that.

[broncosteven]

I wonder if he called Stormontheplains to bail him out. J/k SOTP!

I managed a guy who turned in his resignation to me. A couple days later, ON A SATURDAY, he calls me to tell me he will be late Monday because he had to go to DMV to try to get his license renewed.

Apparently he was sent all sorts of warnings to have his emissions checked on his car and just tossed them. They sent him notices of hearings which he said he didn't get but knowing this guy he tossed. They suspended his license for failure to have his car emissions checked.

He then had to go to court, get a state id so he could fill out paper work for his new job, and get his license before he started.

He was scared he was going to be out of a job, all because he didn't take his **** box car in for emission tests.

I'm glad I live in Florida where they don't have emissions testing. They'd pry be pretty pissed to know that I removed or disabled all the smog crap on my Mustang. :spit:

[broncocalijohn]

Well, people I am confessing that i have had a suspended license as a youth and still drove! Now, my character in question, I understand if you want me cut from the next Orangemane weekend. Just let me down softer than some of you guys here ripping on Andre.

Oh the joys of the NFL offseason.

[Los Broncos]

Come on Andre, i know its hard having no license but you cant roll like that.

So athletes have become so worthless we have to babysit them by providing taxis and limos when they go out. Cmon that is ridiculous. These are men who need to take care of themselves. IMO just kick people off them team and out of the NFL if they can't stay out of trouble. Having said that driving without a license isn't really that big a deal. He wasn't drunk or running from the police.

[broncosteven]

I once changed pants then drove with out my wallet and license. Don't tell anyone.

[cutthemdown]

Any player who can't take care of himself and stay out of trouble won't be much help in trying to win a superbowl. It all points to lack of discipline.

[cutthemdown]

im not criticizing every move these guys make, i watch them play the game, i dont judge them non stop for their off field issues because guess what, no one is perfect, as much as you want them to be.

I agree no one is perfect but Broncos have had quite a few run ins with the law lately. It has went hand in hand with the losing IMO. The team is not disciplined, not focused, not performing. Shanny needs to get better character on this team and quick.

[theAPAOps5]

Where was Cutler to teach this kid valuable life lessons. I mean heck he was teaching them at Fanfair. He should give his teammates a little more effort!

how do you account for Strahan's "lack of discipline" as he was laying pipe in other womens' basements all across Northern NJ while his wife was at home doing laundry?

Well Cutt look at our teams track record lately. You be the judge. I'm just stating my opinion.

As a business owner I can tell you I've had to do a lot more than give somebody a ride home so they could keep their job.

Some business owners fire people at the first sign of trouble. Some go beyond the call of duty to provide solutions. For my business I look for consistency and if I can help an employee achieve that then it's a win/win. It's not all about money when dealing with employees sometimes and keeping them on the team/ or part of the company.

Yeah you are right. Ray Lewis was never worth a **** to the ravens.

[Jason in LA]

They arrested him for that? Damn. I've been pulled over while "riding dirty". They impounded my car and it was a pain in the ass to get it out. I had to come out of the pockets big time, which sucked.

*Just wanted to point out that my license wasn't revoked because of a DUI, or any crime.

Anal Sex while driving is how you got your license suspended? Must have been in Texas they frown on that.

You know I've been thinking. Is this team really more troubled than any other team we've had or do we just hear more about all the little BS that happens to them these days because of the media?

CORRECTION: Hall was not pulled over.


**Correction: When I first posted this I suggested that Hall "was stopped by police" on Tuesday. I have since been told by the Broncos that Hall was not stopped by police on Tuesday but was actually driven to the Pinnellas County Sheriff's Office to take care of an outstanding ticket from a previous incident.

http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2008/02/20/denver-broncos-andre-hall-arrested/

Making ammends for a previous mistake. Whole lotta nothing.

Damn that little punk. The nerve of him having someone DRIVE his ass to court to pay a ticket. What a thug.

9 times out of 10 it's media created fluff. Look at this one, Andre Hall it turns out was never arrested, this was all media rumor.

[Hotrod]

Damn that little punk. The nerve of him having someone DRIVE his ass to court to pay a ticket. What a thug.

Exactly making his buddys drive him around like that. He obviously is a people user. We dont need that on this team.

I once peed in a cup......while driving. Dont ask if i tossed it out the window. Then I used FOneco's name in vain. :nono:

I know what you are saying. **** whats next public transportation? I mean people who rely on rides are bound to move on to using the bus. Its a vicious circle.

[Los Broncos]

Ill bet there is a law where you can get arrested for eating chicken while driving.

[DarkHorse]

So he was driving with a suspended license? What's the big deal? What does that have to do with character? Cheese 'n rice folks, get a life.

Broncos' Hall pays bond for arrest warrant


By FRANK SCHWAB THE GAZETTE

Denver Broncos running back Andre Hall paid a $513 bond Tuesday for an outstanding arrest warrant, which stemmed from an incident in which he was cited for driving while his license was suspended or revoked.

Sgt. Jim Bordner of the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office said Hall was cited for the driving violation Jan. 11 in St. Petersburg, Fla. He did not appear for a court arraignment on Feb. 5, so the misdemeanor warrant was issued. Bordner confirmed that Hall turned himself in for the warrant on Tuesday, paid the bond and was released less than an hour later.

Hall rushed for 216 yards in 10 games for the Broncos last season. He also had two catches for 69 yards.

He is lucky he didn't rush for a thousand yards this past year. That Fine is almost $2 a yard.
