Los Angeles Rams Receiver Demarcus Robinson has been charged with driving while intoxicated since an arrest in November. The news comes just days before the team’s playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night.
The Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office confirmed to TMZ Sports that Robinson was recently charged with misdemeanor driving under the influence since his arrest on November 25.

During the traffic stop, law enforcement officers “observed objective signs and symptoms of alcohol impairment.” The veteran receiver was then arrested on suspicion of DUI, and was “cited and turned over to the responsible party.”
The arrest came just hours after the Rams’ 37-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles at home.

Robinson apologized after the news broke in November.
“I don’t want to bring that kind of light, or any kind of negative energy, towards the team,” he said. “Things like that are not natural to me, in my nature, things that I usually do.”
Rams coach Sean McVay said at the time that Robinson made a “bad decision,” but added, “I don’t think that makes him a bad person.”

The team did not suspend him after his arrest.
According to TMZ Sports, Robinson is due back in court in February.
The Rams are scheduled to travel to Arizona on Friday before Monday’s game, which was moved to State Farm Stadium due to multiple wildfires in Southern California.
