Police reportedly arrested former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham in Florida on Oct. 10 and newly released video appears to capture the moment he was handcuffed and taken into custody.
A Florida Highway Patrol incident report indicates that police pulled over the the 35-year-old athlete in Tallahassee after they allegedly clocked him going 78 mph in a 55-mph zone with his two kids inside the vehicle, according to TMZ. One of the officers involved in the traffic stop and subsequent arrest said that Bradham admitted he was operating the motor vehicle while aware that his license was suspended, according to TMZ.
The video shows police pursuing the suspect before pulling him over.
The officer was seen speaking to him from the front passenger window.
“You found out last month yet you’re here driving now,” the officer says in the short clip.

“You have a problem with your license, every time I’ve stopped you you’ve had a problem with your license,” the officer said.
The suspect’s responses weren’t heard clearly.
“Now you have priors, now it’s criminal,” the officer said. “No if’s, and’s or but’s.”

The officer instructed the suspect to exit the vehicle. The children remained in the car.

The officer proceeded to take the suspect into custody. Another officer took the suspect’s phone away while instructing a female just outside of the camera’s frame to “handle the kids.”
Police took the suspect to a nearby jail and he was released later that same day, according to TMZ.
Court records show police charged Bradham with one felony count of driving while license suspended or revoked in Wakulla County, according to TMZ.
The Buffalo Bills picked Bradham in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL Draft. He then joined the Eagles in 2016 and was part of their Super Bowl winning-team in the 2017-2018 season. (RELATED: Police Arrest Jay Cutler On Multiple Charges: REPORT)
