Just five days before the Chargers take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in a must-win showdown, one of their star players is in trouble with the law. Wide receiver Vincent Jackson was booked at the county jail early Tuesday morning.
News 8 is reporting that Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson has been arrested for DUI. Details are still being revealed, however it is believed Jackson was pulled over by the California Highway Patrol on Highway 52 near Interstate 805 around 4 a.m. Monday.
Jackson was booked at the county central jail and released Tuesday morning.
Jackson's play was one of the brighter spots to the Chargers season. The wide out had 59 catches for over 1000 yards and 7 touchdowns - clearly his best season with the team.
There's no telling yet what effect his arrest will have on Sunday's game."
Chargers will win. Beleive me you dont want to play the SD Chargers if youre an NFL team! The Bolts have been peeking and playing their hardest and most intense defensive and offense all year.
I have been to every home game this year and havent seen the team play with this much intensity in the last 10 years. This team is peeking at the right time and Pitt is not firing on all cylinders.
Bolts by 7 points.
Later; Big Ed!
Im sorry to say,but the steelers are are full strenght !
San diego will get 0wned !
Our weather,our home,our game!
I totally agree that was a stupid manuever on Jackson's part and could have a huge outcome to Sunday's play. He makes enough money to hire a limo or even get a cab. Stupid, right before a big game. Believe me, I think this should have been avoided and would have if we had Marty still as a coach. I just hope that Norv does something about it and sends the right message for Jackson is some type of role model for the kids in the area. I still think Norv will have some schemes to put the Chargers in position to win on Sunday.
Go Bolts.
Ditto sweetfish, plus we have Floyd, if he's full strength. We have plenty of talent, though Jackson was a force. Apparently, he blew below the limt, but was on probation, so the NFL might throw the book at him. Our best hope, if that happens, is that he will appeal and buy some time. Also, I understand that the NFL has a "hotline" that a player can call if he needs assistance. Dumb move!

Hey Japo or Big Ed,
I just was informed that Jackson was below the blood-alcohol limit (.04). He states that it may have been from a cold medicine, and he was taken in because of his probation. Is there any truth to this? I hope so because that would make the media so wrong for not getting their facts straight when posting a story.
Go Bolts
