Jonathan Vilma has established a pretty good reputation in the football world. He excelled academically as well as on the field as a Miami Hurricane. He's always been known as a team leader, a character guy. And he's got no history of legal trouble. Until now.

Vilma was arrested on Friday night in Miami for reckless driving and resisting arrest after he was spotted swerving in and out of traffic and running a red light, almost taking out two pedestrians along the way. He initially refused to leave his vehicle and became argumentative with police.

What's most puzzling is that alcohol wasn't a factor in impairing Vilma's judgment. A typically stand-up guy simply behaved like an idiot.
