Dozens of media outlets have reported on the DUI arrest of NY Jets tight-end Chris Herndon, but every other report was missing a big part of the story: the drunk NFL rookie had tried to leave the scene of the accident… only to be stopped by a New Jersey trooper.

∞∞∞

In this Real World Police exclusive, watch as a New Jersey State Police trooper driving an unmarked vehicle comes up on the scene of a rollover accident. As soon as the trooper exits his vehicle he notices a black male standing on the shoulder walking quickly away from him — and away from the accident scene. Recognizing that normal people don’t hang out on the side of the highway, the trooper quickly realizes that the male was probably involved, and the he orders the male to stop. Shortly thereafter, we hear the male confirm his involvement in the accident, and identify himself as New York Jets rookie tight-end Chris Herndon.

The trooper informs his colleagues that Herndon had been attempting to leave the scene of the accident, changing the CAD code for the incident from a traffic accident to an investigatory stop. The trooper explicitly informs his colleagues that Herndon had been drinking, and reminds them to “do [their] job”… but to also watch out for the “PR nightmare” to come.

The full-length version of this dash cam video is a bit more than ten minutes long. Although the unedited version doesn’t contain anything earth-shattering beyond what you see/hear in this edit, it will be posted to Patreon soon for those who are interested.

Correction: An earlier version of this video’s description implied that Herndon is no longer with the Jets. That was incorrect. Thank you to Roman Shepherd for the correction.

  1. I’ve had This video in my way watch later for awhile and now I realize watching it that this happened in rockaway NJ on 80! Lol too funny!

  2. With uber and lyft being affordable it makes no sense especially if you're rich. If I had that much money it would be a no brainer to call for a ride.

  3. Due to the DUI, Herndon was suspended for four games for the 2019 season. He played in one game on 11-10-19, had one catch for seven yards. Placed on injured reserve just two days later with a rib injury. Herndon had a very good rookie season in 2018 with 39 receptions for 502 yards and 4 TDs.

    Hope he gets is act together.

  4. Typical NFL athlete. Gets in an accident going 100+ mph, tries to bounce from the scene and was given a 4 game suspension. Yeah, that’ll teach him..

  5. He was going for a field goal-
    …100 gotdam miles an hour
    In a car-and thought the police were escorting him because naturally they are his only fans…
    Aw2a they even gave him bracelets-:see?
    One big misunderstanding of a drunky football player committing a few felonies taking one for the t team😁

  6. Can we get more CINCINNATI it been lot going on here with the police like them fight all type of good stuff

  7. The NFL will take wife beaters, dog torturers, drunk drivers, and worse. Someone being able to throw a damn ball takes away their moral judgement. Disgusting!

  8. Oooh my ! He so racist he said “black male walking away from scene” so lucky he didn’t get shot in the back

  9. I feel like NFL players have been getting target more lately… 🤔

    However,

    There's nothing the Police could've done for him in this situation, since he damaged someone else's vehicle.
