Dorial Green-Beckham arrested during traffic stop, calls it misunderstanding

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Titans rookie wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham said he thought police gave him a warning only for speeding as he left a hospital following his son's birth in July and was surprised to learn of an outstanding warrant when stopped in Missouri during Tennessee's bye week.

Instead, he was arrested Sept. 30 when Van Buren, Missouri, police realized there was an outstanding warrant for speeding from Osage Beach, Missouri.

Van Buren police stopped the rookie last Wednesday for driving 65 in a 55-mph zone on his way home to visit family. When they ran his license, they discovered the outstanding warrant, the Tennessean reported. Green-Beckham said it was a misunderstanding because he had no idea a ticket had been issued.

Green-Beckham says he found out the hard way about the warrant, which he resolved by paying $92 in cash.

The receiver was given a warning only by Van Buren police for the speeding infraction.

Green-Beckham will not face repercussions from the Titans, coach Ken Whisenhunt told The Tennessean.
