Here are Lynch’s precedents with the law enforcement since he entered the National Football League.
In 2008, his license was rescinded because of the hit and run incident that took place in Buffalo. He was also arrested in 2009, when the police found a gun in his car.
He was arrested again after being suspicious of DUI in July 2012, after driving irregularly on a freeway in his hometown.
The police are still investigating this latest incident, and we will have to wait and see what the results are.
