Last Friday, he was arrested for being drunk in public while hanging out in Hollywood. He was released on Saturday. On Monday afternoon, though, Griffen was pulled over near the USC campus in L.A. and was unable to produce an ID.
When police asked him to step out of his car, he took off running, saying he didn't want to go to jail.
Officers chased after the 6'3", 275-pound baller until they caught up with him. As they tried to subdue him, Griffen fought back, grabbing one of the officers in the crotch. Officers whipped out the taser and gave the baller some shocks until he allowed officers to put the cuffs on him.
Griffen was initially charged with felony battery, but according to the Los Angeles County district attorney, there wasn't enough evidence to pursue a felony charge.
He'll most likely be charged with some misdemeanors. Griffen was released earlier this week on $50,000 bail and is set to return to court on February 25th.
The NFL has yet to comment on the incident, but there will most likely be some fines or even a suspension coming down soon.
