Looks like Marshawn Lynch went a little too Beast Mode in Las Vegas.

Former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch was arrested and charged with driving under the influence by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

“The LVMPD conducted a vehicle stop at Fairfield Avenue and West Utah Avenue (near Wyoming and Las Vegas Blvd) on a driver, later identified as Marshawn Lynch, for suspected driver impairment.

Through the course of the investigation, officers determined that Lynch was impaired and conducted an arrest. Lynch was transported to the Las Vegas City Jail and booked for driving under the influence.”

Per TMZ Sports, the traffic stop happened on Tuesday morning at 7:25 a.m. PT.

Mick Akers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal provided more details:

And of course you have a Mugshot pic to go along with the arrest.

Per TMZ Sports, the former NFL  running back  was allegedly driving into roadside curbs before police pulled him over. Officers spoke to Marshawn Lynch and believed he was under the influence, leading to the booking at Las Vegas City Jail.

Lynch had his blood drawn and did not submit to a breathalyzer.

The 36-year-old Lynch played in the NFL from 2007-15 and again from 2017-19. The man known as Beast Mode has  played for the Buffalo Bills, Seattle Seahawks and Oakland Raiders.

Will be interesting to see if his endorsement deals go away following this incident.
