The video of Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman Robert Nkemdiche being arrested in Scottsdale on June 6 was recently released and shown by TMZ. FOX 10 News in Phoenix aired the video.
He was pulled over for speeding on the way to practice, going 75 miles per hour on a street with a speed limit of 45. He was cited for speeding and also arrested for driving on a suspended license. There was a warrant for his arrest for failing to appear in court.
As you can see in the video, the police officer sees a hard case with a white powder he suspects is cocaine. He asks Nkemdiche what it is, who says it is nothing.
The officers discuss what it is and bag everything for processing. However, as we learned previously, because of Nkemdiche’s cooperation, the police decided not to process the container and substance and have it tested. Instead, it was impounded to be destroyed.
