This whole Cedric Benson DWI arrest has started to bother me. Why couldn't the Travis County Sheriff's Office just leave him alone when he was out on Lake Travis with his friends. Is it fair to do a "life-jacket" check every time he goes out in his boat??
I hope they have video of him driving the boat at the time of this latest arrest. I am sure the Travis County Police and the Travis County District Attorney's District Attorney's office haven't forgotten they have to prove "operating" under Chapter 49 of the Texas Penal Code. See the attached article with picture of Cedric recently published in the Chicago Sun Times. This picture was taken around an hour before the arrest where Cedric Benson allegedly "operated" the boat while intoxicated. Cedric is just hanging out in the boat eating potato chips in the picture. There may be alcohol on the boat (see background of picture) but none in his hands. It is likely that Cedric Benson's attorney will force the Austin D.A.'s Office to Trial on this case. .

Can't the Austin Police and the Travis County Sheriff's Office just let Cedric enjoy the rest of his summer until he reports to training camp in a month or so? And Cedric, since you've gotten another DWI arrest since the boating incident, hire a driver for your car and your boat. They are relatively cheap if they are not your friends but actual employees.
Please let me know your thoughts on the whole Benson BWI affair.
