You can add Matthias Askew to the growing list of Bengals players arrested this offseason. Askew was shopping for CDs in Cincinnati and decided to park his Escalade on the sidewalk. When the police asked him to move it, he ignored them until they threatened to give him a ticket, then he attempted to drive away but the police told him he couldn’t. Askew parked the vehicle and, according to the police, got out of the car and assumed a “fighting stance”. He was then arrested.
But that’s not all folks. When the police were putting the cuffs on him, Askew attempted to get away and that’s when he was tasered. Imagine a 300 pounder flopping around on the ground after getting tasered. Askew was taken into custody and released on a $248 bond. Now, it seems to us that although Askew was being a dick, the police should’ve just let him drive away, no harm no foul. Instead, we get another negative incident surrounding the Bengals. The over/under on Bengals wins this year is 9. Take the under.
Oh, and if you’ve ever wondered what being tasered looks like, check out this classic video of a woman spouting off and getting tasered.
