While Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tavon Austin was at practice on Wednesday, his car, and apparently one of his longtime friends, were involved in a police chase, according to TMZ Sports.
Cops say Dominic Makell — a longtime friend of the NFL star — was driving a silver BMW X6 on a California highway. For some reason, cops tried to pull him over … but Makell allegedly took off.
Eventually, the vehicle came to a stop and Makell was arrested for felony evading an officer and willful disregard. He was hauled to a nearby station where he was booked. Bail was set at $50,000.
As TMZ goes on to report, the car was in Austin’s name as the registered owner. Team officials were able to confirm that the fourth-year wide receiver was indeed at practice during the incident.
It’s a pretty crazy story, and I’m sure more info will be released on it soon. For now, we’ll just await the details, while focusing on how Austin and the Rams can pull off a much-needed Week 2 victory at home against the Seattle Seahawks.
