ALISO VIEJO, Calif. (AP) — Ohio State offensive lineman Alex Boone has been arrested after being subdued with a Taser during an alleged drunken tirade.

Orange County sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino says the 6-foot-8, 312-pound tackle was jumping on car hoods, yanking on a tow truck cable and trying to break a window when he was arrested late Sunday.

Amormino says the 21-year-old, who appeared intoxicated, was combative and uncooperative with sheriff's deputies and had to be taken down with a Taser. He was taken to a hospital and then to a jail medical ward, where he remains.

Apologies to Detroit fans.

[annarbor]

24. Grrrrrrrrrrr!

Normally I would complain, but hell, we'll take him! How much worse can we do? I pity the Detroit cops that run into him on a Friday night though :)

6. Perfect use of the taser

He was a clear danger to others and to the arresting officers. Before tasers, they would have shot him. He's lucky.

17. Yes I would think so too

Officer 1 :Okay, go get him

Officer 2: Are you high?

[HughBeaumont]

7. Lakewood St Edward product . . .

There was this article in the Cleveland PD on how he supposedly cleaned himself up, as he has a history of PI dating back to his high school days. Alcoholism is no joke. Alex has a problem that needs to be corrected for good before he goes any farther.

Unfortunately, the NFL life isn't necessarily going to allow for that.

9. Public intoxication isn't necessarily a bad thing

Some people are just silly or even funny. Other people, like this guy, are dangers to themselves and others. I went to school with a guy -- a great big (not fat, just big) guy who was a gentle giant. He was very smart, very quiet, and a kind person. Give him a few beers and he was totally out of control -- violent, aggressive, pretty scary. If I saw him drunk or getting close to it, I would just get out.

13. Funny I've been around a lot of drunks in my life and not one

of them was silly or funny. They are always overbearing, a pain in the ass, have chips on their shoulders and think they can whip everyone. I guess I just missed out on those "funny" drunks.

[nichomachus]

19. Yeah, you did -- sorry about that.

Maybe you need to hang out with a better class of people.

[JeanGrey]

25. Drunks are not classy.

11. St. Eds?

No shocker... All the other Catholic Schools kind of hate them and Iggys for recruiting the best players with scholarships.

Meh, I had a few friends who went there that said that the Football heroes got away with murder...smart dudes just avoided them.

shocked I tell ya.

[HughBeaumont]

18. I love how people espouse the supposed "fairness" of Iggy, Ed's and the dozens of Cincy parochials.

St. Obnoxious has won, what, 10 state championships in the past 20 years (including this year) and have rarely missed the playoffs?

It's either them winning football titles or some Cincinnati parochial school in every division winning football and basketball titles. Ridiculous.

[YOY]

21. Hey I have a friend or two who went to Iggys or Eds and had a great education.

It's just a matter of avoiding the neanderthals who suck up a proper scholarships so the school gains notoriety. I knew a kid from grade school who, hindsight being 20/20, I realize was quite gay who went there. I bet he was threatened if not assaulted on a number of occasions.

I thought my HS Football coach was obnoxious at Padua Franciscan...I heard stories about the wonders of testosterone bullying OTHER teachers at other schools.

When those few schools hog up any chance of just regular hard working players (no matter how good as a team), it became a joke. Nobody had any thoughts of ever getting to the playoffs. What's the point when your 3 6'3" guys are dwarfed by their 6'8" and hulking recruiting efforts? Not to mention the poor regular kid QBs and regular backs who have to get tackled by that kind of behemoths.

8. Jim Tressel will not be impressed

cya

[Captain Hilts]

10. Shouldn't he be in Ohio, in class? nt

[Giant Robot]

14. .....

:rofl:

[underpants]

16. Why?

he doesn't have to keep up with eligibility the season is over
and he is a senior/going pro

:shrug:

[Captain Hilts]

22. I am SUCH an Easterner....never mind! nt

[PVnRT]

23. This is Ohio State. Football players are exempt from classes.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

12. Doesn't this go against the typical "Look who got tasered" thread model?

I thought it was only 9 year old school children or old women who got tasered?

[cobalt1999]

15. They should have sent in a Florida DE.

Boone would be on the ground in two seconds.

[Deja Q]

20. Is he Nike's "sportsman of the year"? I thought that was Tiger Woods?

Quite frankly, they ought to keep Tiger and drop the hairy ape pictured above.

[JCMach1]

26. That was an expensive tirade... I am sure will drop him a round or two in the draft

so a million dollar mistake (at least!)

[natrat]

27. nothin like a steroid and alchahol buzz-what a loser
