Police: Lynch was asleep behind the wheel, said he stole car before Las Vegas arrest
Former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch was asleep during a traffic stop, smelled of alcohol and told police he had stolen the car he was sitting in when Las Vegas police arrested him Tuesday, according to the arrest report for the case.
The report, which was obtained by USA TODAY Sports, states that Las Vegas Metro Police came up to a car at 7:25 a.m. Tuesday at Fairfield Avenue and West Utah Avenue, which is just north of the Las Vegas Strip. Officers noticed that the car, a Shelby GT500 Coupe sports car, was in "undriveable condition." Per the report, the driver's side front wheel and rim were completely gone and the front passenger rim and tire almost off. Officers followed marks on the road that showed the car had hit the sidewalk near to where the car was found, with a tire located there.
