Ex-Lions WR Charles Rogers gets jail time
Troubled former Detroit Lion Charles Rogers was sentenced to 93 days in jail this morning for violating terms of probation in his ongoing battle with substance abuse.
Rogers, 28, received credit for 17 days served, so he’ll spend the balance at the Oakland County Jail, under the sentencing by Novi 52-1 District Court Judge Robert Bondy.
Novi Deputy Police Chief Tom Lindberg said this morning that Rogers was found slumped over at a table Tuesday afternoon at On the Border restaurant in Novi, and employees who couldn’t wake him called 911. Police and emergency medical personnel were sent to the restaurant on Haggerty Road.
“He was showing signs of intoxication and was uncooperative, and at that point our officers determined that he had a warrant out for his arrest,” Lindberg said.
Rogers was jailed overnight on a warrant for failure to comply with rules of sobriety court, an intensive drug and alcohol monitoring program.
The former wide receiver for the Lions was cut from the team in 2006. He was arrested in September after police found him passed out behind the wheel of a 2003 Mercedes at Meadowbrook and 8 Mile roads. His sentencing on a guilty plea for operating while impaired in that case had been delayed so he could enter the sobriety court program.
Rogers has 14 points on his driving record and his license is suspended through October 2010, according to the Michigan Secretary of State’s Office. He will be charged $1,000 in driver responsibility fees to the state over two years.
