Bobby McCray Tells His Side of DUI Arrest via Twitter

PrintBobby McCray used Twitter - pretty much the first time he's every actually used it - to give his side of the story behind his DUI arrest last night at 4:30 in the morning. I didn't catch this when he first posted it and his account seems to have been shut down and deleted since then, but the Huffington Post has screenshots of his tweets. Here is what he wrote, in it's entirety.
Trying to deal with this Bogus charge of DWP...driving with Pizza...I had cuffs on me with in 3minutes...This was a short guy with Napoleon complex...He got upset because I asked him why did I need to get out the car on a routine traffic stop...He starving ranting and raving saying I think I know it all and threw me in cuffs...my fiance was feeding me pizza driving home...And he pulled me for doing 80 in a 60...not to mention I was sober...Lawyers mount up, we got some work to do!!!!!
Regardless of what happened during the incident, probably not the best way to go about handling the situation. Not surprised his account doesn't exist anymore.

whats wrong with that approach?
im sure when the judge reads this he will send him on his way with a thundering “WHOOO DAATT!!!”
If...
it was in Orleans Parish, this is completely believable. They know whether or not they’re going to arrest you before you step out of the car. The charges are an after-the-fact excuse as to why you had to spend a night in jail due to 2 traffic violations…
Going 80mph in a 60mph zone . . . $135
Arrested for DWI while doing so . . . $2,500
Publishing to the world via Twitter your idiotic claim that you were only swerving because your fiancee was pushing pizza in your mouth . . . Priceless

maybe "feeding me pizza" is a euphemism for something else his fiancee was doing
I’m just sayin’…

Sad story 2
What pizza shop stays open @ 4;30 in the morning? Come on Bobby, you were having drinks with your Gators buddies. What kind of shape were you in at practice on Wednesday? This might be the reason the Defense is having problems lately.
his sorry self
sat out of practice wednesday with a back ailment per nola.com.
Feeling good enough to stay out all night. Not feeling good enough to practice when you are paid millions of $$$$$ each year.
Pathetic. And to think I thought you’d take Grant’s starting job this year. He is the one I’d expect to be chowing down pizza while driving 80 on the interestate.

I'm wondering...
Do we even know if this was actually his Twitter account?
seems to be some doubt

Not sure. Twitter validates its clients so it should be easy to tell @Surabufix: what’s your take on McCray tweeting about DUI? Real?
Peace, love and understanding.
Tell me, is there no place for them today?
no doubt

Dumb but lawyered up. “First thing we do is issue an apology. We’ll help you write it. Need to say it was unintentional…”
Of course it was intentional. Imagine a situation where it could have been unintentional…. Yeah, me either.
Peace, love and understanding.

Wow, just shut up, McCray.
He already thinks he’s way better than he is. If you read his rhetoric he’s the best DE in football. If he was making any plays I’d care a lot more about this.
We don’t know if that is his real twitter account. I’m waiting for someone to make an account called “Real Bobby McCray” or something. I mean, it’s ridiculous.
Why was he out at 4:30am eating pizza? The guy is ‘sposed to be a professional athlete. What does 4:30am and pizza have to do with that? Yeah, I know people can’t only eat properly but this is just a sign of how committed McCray is. He’s not focused. And an unfocused lockerroom is what has plagued the Saints since Ditka. We need people who are here in New Orleans to win…not just talk about winning. At 4:30am old Bobby should either be sleeping or on his way to the training facility. Want to screw around and go out? Wait ’til after the season.
Considering our disappointing second half of the season it’s not surprising to now find players screwing around. It’s a euphemism for how the team is playing now. And you can see exactly which players are prepared on a week to week basis. You know who isn’t in trouble? Drew Brees, Robert Meachem, Devrey, Wendy’s, etc.
I just think it's funny that he said the police officer was short...
McCray is listed as 6’6". Everyone is shorter than him!

I noticed that, too. Kind of shows how he thinks.

The policeman
probably thought McCray had a Shaq complex

cops vs players
Bobby, we support you but PLEASE understand how important the team’s success is to the city of New Orleans and the people of south Mississippi and understand that we are counting on you. We have too many injuries. We can’t have players getting arrested, even if it is not their fault.
See what pizza and speeding can do
I guess when he gets these lawyers we will see what his alcohol percent was with a taste of pizza. I like cold pizza remark pretty funny stuff…Who Dat
Maybe
he was delivering pizza and had the 30 minute thing hanging over his head???
Fat, dumb, and happy. Hell, two out of three ain't bad!

Many N.O and causeway cops are pricks...
I guess I dont blame them, risking their lives for little pay in this crime infested burg. Wouldn’t shock me if the cop escalated the situation by yelling unnecessarily or being profane. I got stopped in Metairie the other day, and the cop was really brusque and pushy. However, the other time I got stopped off of Esplanade, the cop was somewhat friendly and professional. Luck of the draw sometimes. One thing McCray does say in the tweet is that he was sober. If you were sober, then why not take the breath test.
Janis Joplin's take on this situation:
Speeding fast through the CBD, five-oh on my tail
Drunker than a skunk and hungry, too
Gotta be to practice in an hour and a half
Think I’ll eat some pizza with my boo
Pull over’s just another word for give this b*tch some gas
That streetcar better swerve on out the way, now now
I’ve got a buzz, this song’s absurd
My breath smells just like Thunderbird
Napoleon, have you met my fiancée?
Think I’ll Twitter now, I’m Bobby McCray
La la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la la la Bobby McCray

I wish they paid die hard fans what they pay give a &^%t players. Nottalking about the dedicated players, just seems the good guys don’t get enough publicity.
