King Dunlap arrested in Nashville
Jonathan Tamari
Eagles tackle King Dunlap was arrested in Nashville Friday and charged with reckless driving and disorderly conduct. Police said he drove his Cadillac Escalade onto the sidewalk outside Bridgestone Arena and refused to move when ordered to by police.
Dunlap, 25, a Nashville native, parked his SUV on the sidewalk/plaza area near the front doors of the arena, which is hosting the SEC women's basketball tournament, at 5:15 p.m. Dunlap told police he was there to pick up his father, who is confined to a wheelchair, according to a release from the Nashville Metro police department. Officers told Dunlap drivers were not permitted onto the sidewalk/plaza and directed him to another area where they said he could pick up his father. Dunlap refused to move and after being given a final warning was arrested, according to police.
He was cooperative after he was placed into custody, police said.
Dunlap's bond was set at $1,000. His agent could not immediately be reached for comment.
It sounds like he parks as well as he pass blocks.— Young Baller- When reached for comment, Andy Reid said "Now he decides to block something?!?"— Young Baller
- Even worse is that his father went right around the Escalade and sacked Michael Vick.— Young Baller
- Unfortunately Roger Goddell has denied Dunlap's request to use the Escalade on the field next season, unless of course he is facing James Harrison.— Young Baller
- The illegal parking isn't why they arrested him. It's because he refused to move. In a sense, that's saying I'll make up my own traffic laws even if you're right in front of me. Dunlap obviously had to handle it better. The police probably could have done it differently too.— armchairGM
- who cares he should not even be on the team anyway.— kingfish872
- The police are punks, everyone knows that. That's why you can't expect them to make exceptions to the rules on the basis of common sense or morals, because a high percentage of them are too stupid and haven't received enough proper education to have any of those traits in the first place. They have to be bound by the law and the rules to get anything right, and I wouldn't trust them to have the right to anything except to blindly follow rules. The best thing you could do is to steer clear of these low-lifes in uniforms and not have anything to do with them. I don't know what kind of a person Dunlap is, but the best thing you can do to protect yourself against cops is to just let him have his way and move on.— goeagles87
- If everyone decided for themselves which laws they were going to follow or not, and police decided for themselves which laws they were going to enforce or not, we would have a society in chaos. Why bother making laws at all then? That's the worldview anarchists take. Your problem, whether you realize it, is with the law. You feel people should be able to park on sidewalks if they decide there is a good reason for it. Then you blame the police for enforcing a law you don't agree with. The police shouldn't have a right to decide which laws to enforce or not enforce, it's their job to enforce the laws that are written. That's why they call their job "Law Enforcement", not "Law Interpretation".— mish798798
- I bet if King was a middle aged caucasian sales manager named Bill, this would not have been a problem for Sheriff Roscoe P Coltrane in Nashville. I'm just guessing.— FairmountFrank
Comment removed.- Power trip? Pretty sure you can't park where you want, and then refuse to move your vehicle to the COPS!— phigglesfan75
- Needs to get aggressive on the football field and learn to cooperate w/police. seems he's got it backwards— shabokey1
- They should've just wrote him a ticket.— p-diddy
- Lock this bonehead up and have his Brother Vick join him. A bunch of jail birds on the team. New name for the team. Philadelphia Jail Birds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!— MRD
