Zaven Collins released quickly after booking and more details from arrest

The Arizona Cardinals’ first-round pick did not think he was going as fast as accused, apologized and was released 37 minutes after being booked.

Linebacker Zaven Collins made news for the wrong reason at the start of the week, as he was arrested last weekend in Scottsdale for speeding and reckless driving. While some details came out as to when and where, we have a few more details.

This info comes from ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss.

We know he was stopped at 10:04 a.m. near Chaparral and Scottsdale Roads. The whole process didn’t take long.

Weinfuss notes that he was booked at the station and released 37 minutes later at 11:19 a.m.

When he was told he was driving 76 mph, he said, “Nah, I wasn’t going that fast.” When advised the speed limit was only 35, he apologized.

This doesn’t appear to be something serious. While the charges can result in jail time, it would be a surprise if that were the case.
