Overview
- Justin Blackmon, 35, was arrested early Saturday and charged with public intoxication in Payne County, Oklahoma, marking his first reported legal issue since 2015.
- OSU police responded to a 1:32 AM call about a man laying on the ground and later found Blackmon inside a campus building, unsteady, wearing wet clothes, and smelling of alcohol.
- Officers reported Blackmon's speech was slurred and confusing; he claimed he was trying to walk home but admitted he did not live in the area.
- Due to his size, two sets of handcuffs were required, and a larger patrol vehicle was called to transport him to jail for booking and processing.
- Blackmon, a former Oklahoma State standout and fifth overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, had his pro career derailed by substance-abuse suspensions and prior legal troubles.
