ST. PETER, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings receiver Koren Robinson was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving Tuesday night near the team's training camp, police said.
Robinson was caught speeding on radar at about 10:45 p.m., then refused to stop when pursued by officers, Chief Matt Peters said. Robinson was eventually arrested by police about 10 miles away in Mankato, where the Vikings hold their training camp.
Robinson was in the Nicollet County jail on Wednesday, with charges possible later in the day, Peters said. He said it was "a good possibility" that the receiver would face a felony charge of fleeing police in addition to a possible DWI charge.
Peters said Robinson was given field tests for drunken driving, but he wouldn't give details. He said it appeared from reports that Robinson cooperated with police after he was stopped.
Robinson's agent, Alvin Keels, didn't immediately respond to messages from The Associated Press. A Vikings spokesman said the team had no immediate comment.
Robinson, 26, has a prior history with the league that includes a four-game suspension in 2004 for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello wouldn't comment directly on Robinson Wednesday, but said the league reviews cases based on its policy.
Robinson was a standout for the Seattle Seahawks, but his career there soured after problems including the league suspension in 2004. After pleading guilty to DUI in 2005, he was cut by the Seahawks and later spent 28 days in an alcohol treatment facility.
Given a second chance with the Vikings, he turned into the team's most dangerous receiver and made his first trip to the Pro Bowl, as a kick returner. The Vikings rewarded him with a new three-year contract in March that included $5.5 million in guaranteed money.
In July, Robinson said in an interview with the AP that he knew he'd always be under scrutiny as a recovering alcoholic. He acknowledged that he was taking some relapse prevention classes in preparation for the NFL season, when he said he would have little time to work on maintaining his recovery.
A loss of Robinson's services for any length of time would be a significant blow for the Vikings, who announced Tuesday that rookie linebacker Chad Greenway, their top draft pick, was out for the season with a knee injury.
Dumbass. You can afford a limo, get one if you're going out drinking. It'd look way cooler too.
