Rams wide receiver DeMarcus Robinson will face criminal charges related to his November arrest on suspicion of drunk driving.
Robinson is charged with one misdemeanor count of driving under the influence, prosecutors said. he told TMZ on Thursday..
The outlet also reported that he could face violations and is scheduled to appear in court for arraignment next month.
The Rams receiver was stopped by the California Highway Patrol hours after the Eagles beat Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium on Nov. 24.
Police said Robinson was driving over 100 mph before showing signs of being under the influence of alcohol, which led to the stop.
“Officers observed objective signs and symptoms of alcohol impairment and Robinson was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence,” a CHP press release said. “Mr. Robinson is wanted and released to responsible parties.”
At the time, it was reported that Robinson also refused a field sobriety test.
Robinson was not suspended by the Rams for the team's game the following week, with head coach Sean McVay stating that what happened “doesn't make him a 'bad guy.'”
“I appreciated his ability to acknowledge that to his team without downplaying or undermining the seriousness of what could have happened,” McVay said. “And I believe he'll learn from it and I think it'll be a good learning opportunity for our old football team. And that's how we move forward.”
Robinson also apologized to his coaches and teammates for his actions.
“I don't want to bring that kind of light or any kind of negative energy to the team,” Robinson said. “I just told him, the team, and this entire organization that I sincerely apologize for putting myself and the organization in that predicament.”
