New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave found himself in handcuffs on suspicion of reckless operation of a motor vehicle. He has since been released from custody – as was a video of the arrest.
The body cam footage of the arrest shows Olave proclaiming that he plays for the Saints while being arrested. While cringey, at least he wasn’t resisting arrest.
Taking to X a short while ago, Olave had just three words in response to what transpired: “Damn crazy world,” he wrote.
In a follow-up post, Olave seemed to call people out for trying to tear him down.
“They couldn’t wait to try to tear me down & bash me,” Olave wrote afterwards.
Chris Olave finished fourth in the Offensive Rookie of the Year voting last season after making 72 receptions for 1,042 yards and four touchdowns in 15 games.
Olave hasn’t quite made a big jump this year as the team has transitioned to Derek Carr as their starting quarterback.
With this arrest though, Olave could be facing a major fine or even a lengthy suspension from the NFL for violating its personal conduct policy.
