Prior to shouldering his ownership to Josh Harrus, former Washington Commanders’ owner Dan Snyder formed a stellar offensive lineup, bolstered by keeping Sam Howell at the helm and Michael Thomas as a supportive wing for the quarterback. Howell’s amazing football IQ, with which he outrun Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Jalen Hurts, got another definition when Thomas’s receiving prowess led the team to rob four wins from the rivals.
The wide receiver made a big impact on the field, making him a threat to his rivals. But off the field, his careless actions landed him in the headlines, casting him as a villain in his community.
Why was Saints WR Michael Thomas allegedly arrested?
On Friday, reports surfaced about Michael Thomas being caught by the police. They mentioned his consecutive aggressive behavior as the cause. It’s said that Thomas, the star receiver, was arrested for a troubling incident involving a contractor’s truck near his home. Allegedly, the 30-year-old threw two bricks at the contractor’s vehicle.
The player lost control and grabbed the man before pushing him. Another report mentions that the victim was overseeing the construction of a home across the street before the incident occurred. He hurried to the scene and captured the incident on video. It’s said that the player also attempted to take the victim’s phone to delete the footage of the altercation.
The incident did not develop in a day, as per reports in Daily Mail, the confrontation came after weeks of threats after the player grew upset with the construction crew for parking on the street
Victim exposes awful details about Michael Thomas incident
Though the main reason behind his arrest was not outlined by the police, the witness thrashed out that Michael Thomas threw bricks on his truck, though at first he did not notice that it was his own car. As he assumed something fishy was going to happen, he soon kept himself busy framing it on the camera.
‘He walks up to this big pile of sand and grabs a brick, and he throws it at my car and the guys are like: “Hey, man your truck, your truck! ‘(I thought): “Oh, dude, he’s actually doing something,” so, I grab my phone and I started recording him.”
After noticing his presence, Thomas became violent and tried to rob his cell phone to erase all the proof of the incident. The victim was reluctant to support him in this manner; the Commander’s player could not resist his temper and got involved in the altercation.
“He saw that I was record and he grabbed my phone and grabbed and pushed me.’
Chris Olave’s arrest, due to reckless driving, has already damaged the image of the Commnader, with whom Harris has been dreaming to change the culture of the organization.
The receiver is still expected to play against the Vikings on Sunday, per some sources, though nothing has been detailed from the team regarding this.
