Louisiana Tech QB Arrested For DWI, Has Incredible Mugshot
There are certain signs that college football season is upon us. Polls are released, the talking heads start yelling, and key players get into legal trouble. That’s the case in northern Louisiana, where projected starting QB Ryan Higgins just scored himself a DWI with only days before camp.
From The News Star:
Higgins, a senior, was arrested for DWI and speeding (11 to 20 miles per hour over) just a few days before Tech starts fall camp. Ruston Police Department arrested Higgins at 3:19 a.m. on West Alabama Avenue near campus. He was booked at 5:08 a.m. and has a bond amount of $1,750 ($1,500 for DWI, $250 for speeding).
Higgins was stopped for speeding on West Alabama for traveling 47 miles per hour in a 35 miles per hour zone, according to an affidavit of probable cause.The officer had reason to believe Higgins was intoxicated, according to the report, and Higgins performed poorly on a standardized field sobriety test and had a blood alcohol content of .119
His mugshot was awesome.
When you need to show coaches that you’re all about making headlines, that mugshot is a game ender. Dude needs to pull a Matt Saracen and open his fucking eyes. Between the unkempt hair and the absent look in his eyelids, my man looks like he just got out of a four-game slide against the SEC West. If I walked into a huddle and saw a face like that, sober or not, I’d have no doubt in my mind that the other team was hanging at least four picks on us.
It looks like this year is going to be par for the course. Between the absolute shitstorm hitting the Big 12, Florida’s inability to decide whether they’re heroes or assholes, and the first of many DWIs hitting the news we’re looking at another exciting season of Law & Order: CFB. Stay tuned to watch Nick Saban big time every allegation and Harbaugh catch some heat for his sleepovers.
It’s kind of a bummer for Louisiana Tech. In 2015, Skip Holtz spurred Jeff Driskel to a stellar 154.1 QBR and Kenneth Dixon was one of the best backs in the nation. Now, with Dixon taking handoffs in Baltimore and their projected starter looking like Jesse Plemmons’ creepier brother, it looks like a serious downward spiral is coming to Shreveport..

Was the presser picture really necessary? You could have just used the mugshot and been done with it.

9 years ago at 5:21 pmI lost two good freinds to a drunk driver, so can we please stop glamorising it as frat? Doing stupid stuff that only hurts yourself is FaF, putting other’s lives in jeopardy because you’re an immature manchild is not. I’ll take my soapbox and see myself out now.
9 years ago at 11:14 amSorry for your loss, and I totally agree with your statement.
9 years ago at 12:49 pmFuck this guy. Hope this is the official end of his career. Don’t drink and drive.
9 years ago at 11:19 amim not saying DUIs are good. but there are a reported 100,000,000 instances of drinking and driving per year. of those, roughly 1,000,000 get caught and reprimanded. the people that do get caught get the book thrown at them. community service/fees/fines/loss of license/insurance raise. aside from all these it puts tensions in the household if people lose their jobs from the DUI or if spouses perhaps hold it against them. my point being that DUIs can happen to anyone, done sit there and say “hope he losses everything” just because youre lucky enough not to have been caught yet. the vast majority of us have drank and drove ourselves or have family memebers who have. you wouldnt be so quick to say “i hope he losses everything” if your pops was in that mugshot
9 years ago at 11:48 amWhat the fuck are you talking about. Fuck you and fuck drunk driving. Call an Uber, a pledge, or just don’t fucking drink if you can’t handle that.
9 years ago at 12:55 pmget off your high horse. this guy had a .11 BAC thats achieved from roughly 5-6 beers. this is probably considered a slow night by most peoples standards here. shit, im sure some of you even do that when youre just studying. he probably went out, watched his friends beer bonging and pounding shots, and figured “ive barely had anything” and drove home. for you to say fuck you and fuck drunk driving is all well and good sir, but the stats are there. im not condoning the behavior im simply acknowledging that it happens (easier than you think too) imagine how many times you walked into a party and said, “ill have a few beers at the begining and ill be sober by the end of the night” it takes almost 8 hours for a .08 to get to .00 how many of you think youve ubered home from a party blacked out (perfectly responsibly). then got up for work and were still above the legal limit? did you call in sick? did you uber to work? im betting not. think before you speak next time. take into consideration how simple it is to happen to someone before you walk with your head high acting like he should be lynched for it.
9 years ago at 1:11 pmThere is a huge difference between me having a couple of beers at dinner or 5 beers over 3 hours at a bar and someone getting drunk and hopping behind the wheel. If I get drunk and kill someone I hope they do the right thing and throw the thickest book they can at me.
9 years ago at 1:01 pmi couldnt agree with you more Vandy. im simply here to edumacate the people.
9 years ago at 1:13 pmYou only drink 5 beers after 3 hours at the bar?
9 years ago at 2:44 pmJesus Christ you’re a fucking moron, It doesn’t happen to anyone? I’m not lucky I haven’t been caught, I’m lucky I’m not a fucking spastic and I know how to call an uber you goober.
9 years ago at 6:49 pmand what about those with ubers banned in their city? and those who arent fortunate enough to afford uber to begin with? the obvious answer is dont drink, but is that the realistic answer? dont write people off for a mistake.
9 years ago at 9:02 pmWhat a sad little ginger man.
9 years ago at 11:20 amIdk how he loses the starting position after this
9 years ago at 12:24 pmAt 200lbs a BAC of 0.12 is five (5) 12oz beers in one hour. Who in the hell looks like a trailer park meth head after 5 Natty’s? Something is not adding up here.
9 years ago at 12:45 pmHe’s clearly fucking crying
9 years ago at 2:18 pmPkane still has the best mugshot of all time
9 years ago at 2:06 pmNot even close to a to 5 mugshot
9 years ago at 3:37 pmLouisiana Tech is in Ruston, not Shreveport.
