It’s not every day that you hear of an athlete being caught speeding at 130 mph. But that’s exactly what happened in Arkansas when former NFL player Dillon Mitchell decided to take his black Ford Mustang for a spin, only to end up running from the cops instead of enjoying the ride.

Mitchell allegedly led troopers on a wild goose chase through U.S. Route 63 and Interstate 555, weaving between lanes at breakneck speeds while narrowly avoiding collisions with other vehicles. The police report paints a picture of reckless behavior that put everyone’s safety in jeopardy.

Once the dust settled, Mitchell ended up rolling his car into some grass after attempting to evade capture by taking an off-ramp too quickly. He then had the audacity to wait calmly on the side of the road while using his phone as if nothing out of the ordinary happened. Talk about cool under pressure!

But that wasn’t all; Mitchell is now facing a laundry list of charges including felony fleeing, DWI in the first degree, refusal to submit to chemical testing, and reckless driving. It’s safe to say this isn’t how he planned his offseason.

This incident serves as a stark reminder that even professional athletes aren’t immune from making mistakes. It’s clear Mitchell needs to take some time out for reflection before he gets back on the field next season.
