Nightmare Clients for the Week of September 24th-October 1st

It has been rather quiet on the nightmare client front for the past 2 weeks. That definitely changed this week…

1. Odell Thurman of the Cincinnati Bengals has become the 6th Bengal arrested this year after getting pulled over for a DUI. Tack a year-long suspension on top of his current 4 game suspension for substance abuse [Lewis expects Thurman to be suspended for season]. Chris Henry was in the car, and was found throwing up [Henry Vomits, But Isn’t Arrested. Kudos, Chris!]

2. Dmitri Young, formerly of the Detroit Tigers, received a year of probation after assaulting his ex-girlfriend [Former Tigers DH Young sentences to probation].

3. Terrence Kiel of the San Diego Chargers was arrested for selling and moving codeine [Sources: Chargers safety Kiel arrested on drug charges].

4. Keith Traylor of the Miami Dolphins had violated the NFL’s personal conduct policy and will face disciplinary action.  He is currently serving a 1-year probation and has been charged with a felony already this year [Report: Dolphins DT Traylor facing NFL discipline].
