Kenny Chesney once sang, "You and tequila make me crazy." Well, tequila certainly appeared to make Julian Edelman crazy almost three years ago.
The former wide receiver was arrested for vandalism in January 2020, but he felt it was an interesting enough tory to tell on his "Games with Names" podcast.

He revisited the night on his podcast with Paul Pierce, who joined Edelman and former teammate Danny Amendola on the evening in Beverly Hills, Calif.
Edelman attempted to slide across the hood of a car, but his pants kept him from sliding, damaging the car.

"It was my jeans," he said. "There was no slide. There was too much friction … Me, wearing straight jeans, go over there and I kind of stuck. Homeboy gets out of [the] car, waves down a cop, they start hemming me up."
At the time of the arrest, police told TMZ Sports it was "apparent" Edelman had been drinking.
He confirmed that.

Edelman, Amendola and Pierce were stuck inside a restaurant because police officers were tending to a nearby robbery, so they settled in the only way they knew how.

Edelman made note that it was a citizen's arrest, but he still woke up to "300 texts from my agent."
"We go back to the house. We’re over here thinking it’s not on TMZ, it’s not out, we’re having the best night of our life," Edelman said. "We go out, and we’re playing one-on-one basketball at Soho House, and people are like, ‘What’s going on?’ I wake up in the morning to 300 text messages from my agent, this, that."
