Former USC quarterback and Raiders living legend Todd Marinovich was arrested yesterday in Newport Beach, California for skipping out on court. Even worse, he was arrested outside of his mother’s home and taken to jail. Standard procedure.

Marinovich had been scheduled to face charges of possession of drugs, possession of a needle, and resisting arrest.

This latest brush with the law immediately sent me to his Wikipedia page, which to no surprise, is an absolute dream:

1991 – Arrested on cocaine possession while a student at USC.

1997 – Arrested on suspicion of growing marijuana. Served three months in jail after pleading guilty.

2000 – Arrested for sexual assault. (Ok, that one isn’t funny.)

2001 – Arrested on suspicion of heroin possession, which forced his exit from the Los Angeles Avengers of the Arena League.

2005 – Arrested in a public bathroom in Newport Beach after being found with drug paraphernalia. He fled on a child’s bicycle, but was caught a few blocks away. He gave his occupation as “unemployed artist” and “anarchist” on the police report, which stated that his pupils were dilated and his behavior “erratic.”

2007 – Arrested and charged with felony drug possession and resisting a police order after being stopped for skateboarding near the Newport Beach Pier boardwalk. He ran away when officers tried to stop him and was found hiding in a carport about six blocks away. He had a guitar case, and inside officers found about a gram of powdered methamphetamine, a metal spoon and a hypodermic needle.

Despite so many incredible feats, the fact that he now looks like the lost son of Boris Becker and Ron Howard trumps all.
