Former Ohio State and current New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was arrested late Monday in Kenner, La., for reckless operation of a motor vehicle.
According to a report from ESPN, Olave was going 70 miles per hour in a 35 mile-per-hour zone in what police described as a “mixed business/residential area.” Police said the Dodge Charger driven by Olave was “traveling at the high rate of speed, recklessly maneuvering between lanes and around other drivers on the roadway.” He was booked into Kenner City Jail and later released on Monday evening.
Olave and the Saints – who had no comment on the situation – last played on Thursday night and are scheduled to play at Indianapolis on Sunday. Through seven games, the second-year Olave leads the Saints with 39 catches for 471 yards and a touchdown.
