James Cook of the Buffalo Bills has found himself in the headlines quite a bit over the last couple of weeks.  But this time, it's not for something good.

He's been in the news for being the offensive player of the week.  He's been there because he's currently injured, and now, it looks like he's being investigated for allegedly skipping out on a bill at a local club.  See more on that here.

He has NOT been arrested.  His situation seems to honestly be one that was a misunderstanding that was handled quickly and politely, but they filed a police report against him for theft of services.  But if he did end up getting arrested, he wouldn't have been alone.  He would join a list of Buffalo Bills (and staff) that have gotten themselves into trouble with the law.  Some have serious charges, and others are just stupid.  You'll find everything on this list, from reckless driving, DUI, gun charges, disorderly conduct, and more

There are a lot of people out there who will then paint the entire team with one wide brush as a bunch of criminals, but I disagree.  You can normally count on one hand in the time span of a year how many players are getting themselves into trouble. Granted, there's no stat for the number of professional athletes who have been given a "pass" because of who they are.  I'm not naive enough to think that just because someone doesn't have a record they are squeaky clean.

However, the rest are normally either laying low or giving back to the community.  So I would venture to say that the people on this list are the exception to the rule instead.

Also, these just mark the moments of the arrests.  They don't mention whether or not they were found guilty on the arrest.  It just says that they have a record.  They weren't all arrested in Buffalo, and unfortunately, we had to cut the list off somewhere so it only includes arrests that happened after the year 2000.  So, the arrests of people like OJ Simpson and Bruce Smith are not on this list.  These are only from 2000 to present.
