Rams receiver Demarcus Robinson arrested on suspicion of DUI hours after loss to Eagles

Los Angeles Rams receiver Demarcus Robinson was arrested early Monday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence after California police allege he was driving over 100 mph just hours after the team’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night. 

Officers with the California Highway Patrol observed Robinson, 30, driving a white Dodge sedan “traveling in excess of 100 miles per hour” on U.S. Route 101 going northbound at around 5:10 a.m., according to a news release.

Robinson is in his second season with the Rams. He has 26 receptions for 384 yards and a team-leading six touchdown catches while starting all 11 games this season.
