Well, well, well. Another week and another Falcons player being arrested. This time it's Defensive End John Abraham. Abraham was arrested for two misdemeanor obstruction charges Monday night. John was released Tuesday morning on $7,000 bond ($3,500 per charge). Abraham entered a police taped off area, who were in response to a lady threatening to jump from a hotel window.
"Mr. Abraham refused to leave, and nearby officers had to respond to Mr. Abraham's location. The officers also ordered Mr. Abraham to leave and he again refused and insisted on continuing further into the scene. Officers then took Mr. Abraham into custody." -Officer K.Y. Jones
Abraham was charged with once count of obstruction of police and one count of obstruction of firefighters.
"I think at this moment I don't want to talk about my side. Once we get everything clarified and get everything going the right way - because we're still in a legal situation that we need to get cleared out and everything. But you know sometimes it's just bad timing. I'm not going to fault anybody at all. It was just things happen in life." -John Abraham
Abraham's arrest comes just one week after running back Michael Turner was arrested for a DUI after the Falcons' victory of the Denver Broncos. The Falcons' front office responded to the news of Abraham's arrest with the following statement:
"We are aware of the news regarding John Abraham. We are in the process of gathering more information, and we will have no further comment at this time." -Atlanta Falcons statement
The Falcons will take on the Carolina Panthers Sunday September 30th, lets hope that another Falcons' player doesn't get arrested after this game.
