...while on probation for assaulting a cop? The court will not disconnect standing in front of a judge just 90 days ago and agreeing to abide by the terms of probation by not committing another crime for two years. Driving drunk is a crime.
The standard of proof for violating probation is much, much lower than what is needed to prove you committed the crime itself. This is quite different than your 1st offense DUI.
Let's be clear that DUI is a serious crime. The NFL knows it and the NFLPA knows it. The Dallas Cowboys really know it. 10,000 people die every year in this country in drunk driving accidents.
Moreover, in relation to employment, it depends on if getting arrested for DUI interferes or signals that you are not capable of doing your job.
If this guy misses one session of training camp to attend to his legal difficulties for violating his probation for being convicted of assaulting a police officer, it interferes with his ability to do his job.
This episode keeps reminding me of Bill Belichick's mantra, "Do your job."
Where in Alfonzo Dennard's job description does it say "drive under the influence of alcohol?"
