Bad publicity continues to plague the Washington Redskins organization—just ask head coach Jay Gruden. His 22-year-old son, Jack Gruden, was arrested early Sunday morning for public drunkenness.
The arrest occurred at 2:15 a.m., after Gruden had engaged in multiple confrontations at a restaurant in One Loudoun. According to the police report, a deputy broke up the initial argument between Gruden and another male, but Gruden was involved in two more confrontations leading to his arrest.
Gruden has been a part of the Redskins staff for two seasons. He started out by volunteering the first year, and then more recently, served as a video assistant. His court hearing is scheduled for March 21.
Tony Wyllie, the team's senior vice president of communications, said in a statement, "We are aware of the arrest of Jack Gruden. We are gathering more information and will not comment until we have further details." Wyllie is a busy man, having to constantly address the media regarding the black cloud—namely Bruce Allen—hovering over Redskins Park.
Alcohol seems to be a culprit, though. Two months ago, Redskins safety Montae Nicholson was arrested for—stop if you've heard this one before—public drunkenness around 2 a.m. at One Loudoun. Unlike Gruden, Nicholson was also charged with assault and battery, effectively ending his season. Wyllie, in a statement verbatim to the one above, said, "We are aware of the arrest of Montae Nicholson. We are gathering more information and will not comment until we have further details."
Maybe they should quit playing Redfoo's song "Good Things Happen When Ya Drunk" at Redskins Park.
