TMZ is reporting that Lynch’s car was undrivable when the police arrived because one of his tires was missing while another was flat.
Via TMZ Sports
Marshawn Lynch’s car appeared undrivable by the time cops arrived and busted him for DUI on Tuesday … with one tire completely missing, and at least one other flattened.
TMZ Sports has obtained pictures of the 2020 Shelby GT500 cops believe Lynch was driving prior to his arrest … showing the front-left wheel’s rim resting on the pavement, with no tire in sight.
Witnesses tell us they saw Lynch parked at the scene around 5:45 AM — roughly two hours before his arrest — and claim at one point, the running back exited his car to sit on the curb with the driver-side door wide open.
We’re told Lynch remained at the scene until cops arrived … who ultimately determined he was impaired and arrested him for driving under the influence.
According to the police, Lynch “left a trail of damage” from driving on the road without a tire for so long.
We’re told Lynch left a trail of damage on the road until his car reached its resting point … with visible marks on the pavement and curbs. As we previously reported, sources say Lynch was driving into roadside curbs prior to the arrest.
Lynch was taken to jail and booked for DUI — he’s also facing charges of failure/refusing to surrender proof of security, unregistered vehicle and failure to drive in a travel lane.
Thankfully no one was hurt and Lynch was able to walk away unscathed.
