PrintFooch's Update 10:27am: Cam Inman sent a subsequent tweet out with the same link, but he included a note "failure to prove he completed 1st-offender program." We're waiting for more details, but that could mean he either did not complete the program or simply failed to file necessary paperwork regarding the program. More to come..
The 49ers offseason got a lit bit more tumultuous Wednesday as defensive end Ray McDonald was arrested in Sunnyvale for an outstanding warrant that stemmed from his 2010 arrest for suspicion of driving under the influence. McDonald was apparently pulled over around 2am for a traffic violation and it sounds like upon running his tags the cops discovered this outstanding warrant.
McDonald was initially arrested in San Mateo County on June 12, 2010 for suspicion of driving under the influence. The news sort of frittered out and there hadn't been a clear resolution of the case. Now we know why. An arrest is never a good thing, but this is likely not as simple as Aldon Smith's arrest a couple weeks back. There will be more on this developing situation so we'll keep an eye out for the details. Hopefully there is some kind of reasonable explanation for all this given that we are now over a year and a half removed from the initial arrest.

WTF
Our defense is getting off on the wrong foot this offseason. I hope this isn’t a bad omen.

Harbaugh needs to stamp this out now.
We are not the freaking Bengals!
geez
let’s hope it’s just some kind of misunderstanding or something that can be easily resolved.

So can we stop getting arrested now?

While admitting that I don't know all of the details, including Ray's side of the story,
to me, It all comes down to personal responsibility, and doing the right thing. Bite the bullet and do the right thing.

This isn’t news. This is gossip. Odd how they are the same nowdays.

gossip
Getting arrested is not gossip.

"Famous person got arrested"
For something that we will make seem very vague and mysterious the less severe it actually is to raise intrigue.
That’s Entertainment Tonight, not Walter Cronkite.

Kind of confusing...
Because to get your license back after getting a DUI, you have to complete the program… There can be numerous reasons why he had a warrant.. Failure to see the judge on a court day, not paying a fine, not completing some community service..etc..

Yup , he prolly didn't complete one of the fore mentioned you stated ...!!
I'm your " Huckelberry "...it's just my game ..( .AleX ) was asked , what do you think about all the game manager talk ... AleX i guess i just managed myself a VIctory ... Extend the Man ...!!
Blah!
Glad this mess didn’t get brought up during the Niners’ season.

Heck, I was concerned about the lack of quality depth on our defense....
and worried if we lost any starters due to injury, or underpreforming going into 2012….but now we may lose players because they can’t stop drinking…WTF!
sounds like he just forgot to turn in some paper work
if he did complete the program, he just needs to show the judge. no harm, no foul (other than the embarrassment of being somewhat of a public figure and getting arrested)

I still say all who believe we have quality depth behind our starters are in La La land
Justin-Issac-Ray are so superior to anyone else backing them up it is as clear as the Big Nose on your face.
The 9ers need better quality players in almost every back-up position, the type of player that can ACTULLY push & challenge the starters, those type of players.
well
You never bothered to respond to the comments related to Ricky Jean Francois.
by David Fucillo on Feb 8, 2012 1:13 PM PST up reply actions
Ricky Jean...
I just say this…
do you think Justin-Issac-Ray feel threaten by Ricky Jean?
do you think Justin-Issac-Ray feel pushed by Ricky Jean?
If you answer NO….then you make my point about the 9ers needing higher quality personal, again the type of player that can actully threaten the starters as a starter.
You would have said the same thing when McDonald was backing up
Justin/Franklin/Soap
RJF is a quality d-lineman. That doesn’t mean we can’t always use more depth, but you’re really selling him short.
RJF and Dobbs seem like solid depth. You don't want somebody you are paying big starter money as your "depth"
Gimme 1 round!
by ItBurnzWhenIP on Feb 8, 2012 1:23 PM PST up reply actions
If you are paying someone starter money its because the proved they are good
enough to be a starter or at least in the starting rotation. I saying the 9ers clearly NEED higher quality personal who can ACTULLY push & compete with the starters.
so...
you want backups that are making starter money? I’m kinda glad you’re not running the 49ers cap.
by David Fucillo on Feb 8, 2012 1:34 PM PST up reply actions
Thats what you call putting too much money into a position.

Oh my.... no!
Im saying if we had higher quality back up personal who clearly prove they can push and challenge a starter for a starter position….that is the type of depth we need, and IF they prove they can WIN the starting position, YES, they should be PAID like a starter.
You did not answer my above question to you regarding Ricky Jean…is your answer yes or no?
Probably
If they think RJF is a hard-worker, they know his versatility brings value to the team. I think primarily Sopoaga knows the 49ers are not on the hook for enough money with him that they wouldn’t consider moving RJF into the starting lineup if he has a strong training camp.
by David Fucillo on Feb 8, 2012 2:03 PM PST up reply actions
Personally....
I dont see Ricky Jean ever challenging as a starter at Nose Guard or Defensive End, period!
And there is my concern and my point….the 9ers DON’T cuurently have any one on their roster who can serioisly push and/or challenge Ray-Issac-Justin….NO BODY!
So clearly there is a great need for better superior talent to join our team then we have now.
Barely anyone in the league can challenge Justin Smith and Ray McDonald.
No one can challenge Justin Smith. Only a handful of guys could challenge McDonald (Dockett, Campbell, Ngata…?)
clearly?
Maybe in your mind. As Odekerk mentioned with regards to Justin Smith, the only players that can challenge Justin Smith are starters on other teams.
by David Fucillo on Feb 8, 2012 2:57 PM PST up reply actions
Oh O.K. then lets just be satisfied with the back ups we have....
and if Justin-Issac-Ray happen to get injured or cant go for some games, lets just ride with what we have. Then you guys will discover HOW BADLY we needed higher quality personal
You do know that McDonald went down for a couple of games
And when we win, we want to dominate. We want to take guys out. We want to hurt guys. We want to win. We just want to dominate, hit them in the mouth. - Rathman

I notice there was no response to this lol
RJF played last year and we were slightly weaker than with Ray in the lineup… But then again had Ray played the whole season he might have made the pro bowl.
Gimme 1 round!
by ItBurnzWhenIP on Feb 9, 2012 5:39 PM PST up reply actions
Challenge?
That’s not a challenge. The only person to challenge Smith is McDonald and Nagata.

McDonald doesn't challenge Smith. He has only 1 guy at the same position. Ngata
Jared Allen is the other guy he’s competing with for best DLineman in the NFL.

I'm ok w/our depth @ DL
in a worst-case scenario I think Aldon could sub in @ either end; and if Tomsula has the confidence to rely on Ian Williams, Dobbs, & RJF as back-ups why shouldn’t we do likewise?

Meh
Not really noteworthy unless it was a whole new DUI incident.

Surely someone in the PD must have looked at the warrant when it was issued and thought they might be able to locate Ray McDonald, it’s not like he’s been in hiding for 6 mths.
by Alfonso Garonso on Feb 8, 2012 4:07 PM PST via mobile reply actions
Whoa
A lot of people are going crazing thinking Ray Mc. did something wrong recently. This arrest was related to his D.U.I arrest in June. Ray was arrested on a warrant due to his prior arrest.
I believe in excellence. I believe in Alex Smith.
