Police are still investigating how an Arizona Cardinals wide receiver crashed his Camaro into Lake Erie Saturday evening.
The Arizona Cardinals did not take long to make a move on undrafted rookie receiver Jermiah Braswell following his arrest, as the NFL transaction report had the team placing him on waivers.
Braswell was an undrafted rookie signing out of Youngstown State.
He was arrested and charged for operating a vehicle under the influence over the weekend in Put-In-Bay, Ohio after he drove his car off the roadway and into Lake Erie.

“Police say witnesses told officers that the driver of the Camaro had driven off the embankment and came to rest in the lake, and added Braswell was at a very high rate of speed when he left the roadway. He traveled through a grassy area, and flew off the embankment into the lake, according to police records.
To make matters worse, Braswell was found by officers in the driver’s seat still attempting to drive forward. He told crews he was stuck and didn’t know what happened, according to police.
“Police say officers noticed Braswell’s speech was slurred and he was unable to explain how he ended up in the water.
He submitted to standardized field sobriety tests, after which he was arrested for driving under the influence, according to police.
Police records show Braswell agreed to a breath test, which showed his BAC exceeded Ohio’s legal limit. The player refused to submit to a chemical test to determine his BAC.”
