Authorities in Oklahoma reportedly had a hard time putting ex-NFL wide receiver and Oklahoma State product Justin Blackmon in their police car after he was arrested recently for alleged public intoxication.
Officers were forced to bring in a bigger vehicle to be able to get Blackmon to jail, according to TMZ.
Oklahoma State University Police reportedly responded to a call about a “large black male” lying down on the ground early Saturday morning at 1:32 a.m. (RELATED: Eagles’ A.J. Brown Gives Thief Who Stole His Car A Way Out Of Punishment — They Chose To Learn Things The Hard Way)
Per a report from TMZ Sports, Blackmon had already gotten off the ground and went to a campus building that was nearby by the time police had arrived at the scene. When officers found the ex-NFL player, police reportedly said that he had slurred speech, wasn’t easy while standing and was wearing wet clothes.
Authorities questioned him about what he was up to and where he was going, to which he allegedly claimed he was going to “Stillwater.” Police then told Blackmon that Stillwater wasn’t an address. “You got me,” he responded, leading to Blackmon confessing that he wasn’t from the area, according to TMZ.
Police then made the move to arrest Blackmon and began procedures to transport him to jail due to public intoxication, according to TMZ.

The process was anything but easy for police, as the report says that authorities were forced to use two sets of handcuffs because of “his body size and the girth of his wrists.”
The report also says he was “unable” to get into the cruiser’s backseat “due to his body size.” Police called in another vehicle, a bigger one, to transport Blackmon to jail.
Blackmon was selected in the 2012 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the No. 5 overall pick, having a solid rookie season before eventually being suspended by the NFL for being in violation of its substance abuse policy the next year.
