Justin Blackmon Talked OSU Coaches With Cop During Arrest, Police Video Shows

This incident involving former NFL player Justin Blackmon sheds light on a unique interaction between him and a police officer during his arrest for public intoxication earlier this month. The police video obtained by TMZ Sports captures the moment when an Oklahoma State University Police Department officer took a brief break from arresting Blackmon to engage in a conversation about Oklahoma State football history.

The video shows the officer educating Blackmon, a former OSU Cowboy and Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver, about the university’s football program. The incident occurred on the Stillwater campus around 1:30 AM on April 19, when Blackmon was allegedly found roaming the campus while intoxicated.

In the footage, Blackmon can be seen acknowledging his past as a player for the Oklahoma State Cowboys in 2011 before transitioning to the NFL. The conversation between Blackmon and the officer provides a glimpse into a lighter moment during what would otherwise be a serious situation.

This incident serves as a reminder of Blackmon’s past successes in football and highlights the camaraderie that can exist between individuals, even in unexpected circumstances. Despite the circumstances surrounding his arrest, Blackmon’s brief exchange with the officer showcases a shared passion for the game of football and serves as a unique moment captured on camera. The cop then asked Justin Blackmon, “Did you play under Mike Gundy?” Blackmon seemed confused by the question, wondering who else he could have possibly played for. The cop then proceeded to educate him on Les Miles’ brief tenure at Oklahoma State University.

As they waited for a bigger police vehicle to transport Blackmon to a nearby jail, the two engaged in a conversation about Gundy and Miles. Eventually, the football talk came to an end as the car arrived.

Throughout their 15-minute encounter, Blackmon was largely cordial with the officer, although he appeared to be quite inebriated. The 35-year-old, wearing a wet hoodie and pants, slurred his words, appeared unsteady on his feet, and failed to provide the officer with the address he was heading to despite repeated questions.

Despite insisting that he hadn’t done anything wrong multiple times, Blackmon was repeatedly informed by the cop that he was under arrest for public intoxication.

On the way to jail, Blackmon appeared to drift in and out of sleep while in the back of the squad car. It was a troubling situation for the former football star, who once had a promising career but now finds himself in legal trouble due to his intoxication.
