Former Tennessee Titans 2020 first-round pick and offensive tackle, Isaiah Wilson, reportedly had yet another run-in with the law a few months before the team traded him to the Miami Dolphins, and just days before the Titans played the Baltimore Ravens in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.
According to John Glennon of Broadway Sports, Wilson’s latest indiscretion occurred on January 7 and allegedly involved a high-speed car chase in Georgia, where he was eventually apprehended at gunpoint.
Here are the details, per Glennon, who cites the police report:
According to the Barrow County Sheriff’s Department incident report, the pursuit of Wilson began at about 3:50 a.m. on Jan. 7, when Officer Stephen Kinney observed a dark-colored Dodge Charger with Tennessee license plates fly past him traveling eastward on University Parkway. Activating his radar, Kinney clocked the vehicle going 123 miles per hour, then activated his emergency lights and siren in an attempt to catch the vehicle and initiate a traffic stop.
Kinney began to catch up to the vehicle before he noticed it accelerating away, and he advised his dispatch office that speeds of the chase had reached 140 miles per hour, according to the report. A second officer joined in the pursuit at about that same time.
According to the police report, the original responding officer stopped his pursuit because of the high speeds the car was traveling at.
The car was eventually discovered crashed on the side of the road by an undercover ICE agent, who held the occupants, one of which was Wilson, at gunpoint.
Wilson was charged with “fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer for a felony offense; speeding in a construction zone; reckless driving; marijuana possession of less than one ounce; possession and use of drug-related objects; and reckless conduct.”
He was released from custody on January 8 after posting a $7,000 bond.
Prior to his only season in Nashville, Wilson was also arrested on suspicion of DUI after doing donuts in an intersection led to him crashing the vehicle he was driving.
On March 8, the Titans finally decided to part ways with the troubled Georgia product, sending him to the Dolphins.
Wilson’s time with the Dolphins was brief to say the least. He was released just days after the trade was made official on March 17 after showing up late to his physical and team orientation, and not showing up to voluntary workouts. Wilson has since cleared waivers and is a free agent.
