“Let Me Take A Leak!” Former Raiders Head Coach Has Body Cam Footage Released Of DUI Arrest

The Las Vegas Raiders are having an abysmal 2024 campaign.  Vegas started the year with questions at the quarterback position, and we may have more questions than answers 13 games into the season.  2-11 and dead last in the AFC is where Las Vegas finds themselves.

However, one former head coach finds himself in a bit worse of a situation.

Jack Del Rio, the former Raiders head coach and current Wisconsin Badgers assistant football coach, was arrested last month for OWI:

Del Rio, a longtime NFL coach, was serving as a senior adviser to Badgers coach Luke Fickell. He would resign from his position with the Badgers, coach Luke Fickell announced back then.

Things have only gotten worse as footage of the former Washington Commanders head coach has now surfaced.

Dashcam video emerged of former NFL head coach Jack Del Rio’s arrest after he allegedly struck a street sign and then a residential fence with his vehicle.

TMZ Sports released the footage that showed him moaning in apparent pain.

The video shows him becoming increasingly uncomfortable in the back of the car after telling him he was under arrest for DUI.

On three separate occasions, Jack Del Rio asked cops if he could relieve himself, even pleading with them at one stage: ‘Please, just let us f—ing take a leak.’

“Can we just take a leak, man?” Del Rio asked an arresting officer in the video while in the back of the cop car. “Look at me. What the f–k?”

The officer responded, “I don’t have anywhere to take you right now, man.”

Del Rio continued to plead, asking, “Can we please go somewhere to take a leak?”

At the time of his arrest, Del Rio declined a breathalyzer test and was informed by the officer that he would be seeking a warrant to get a blood test.

As he continued to groan in pain, the officer asked him what was wrong, and he responded, “It’s just this pain.”

Once at the police station, he struggled to get out of the car and said that his “f–king arm won’t work.”
