NBC's Dallas affiliate has posted a dashcam video and photo gallery of Michael Irvin's arrest. The anchorwoman describes it as "how the arrest went down," which could not be more apt. It shows the entire incident, from Irvin being pulled over in his Benz, to him getting out of the car and subsequently handcuffed, to his wife being escorted from the car, to the Plano PD officer inspecting the "drug pipe with a plastic bag containing marijuana residue."  

The best part of all this? I mean, aside from watching The Playmaker get cuffed? The field reporter's closing commentary:  

"As one officer here pointed out, EVERYONE can learn from this, pay your traffic fines BEFORE an arrest warrant is issued."  

And/or DON'T drive around with drugs in your car.

Thanks to SBLien CT for the link. He's currently in NYC at the moment blogging about Brady's Sportsman of the Year honor and IMing me with amazing Irvin arrest videos, apparently.

  1994 Irvin would have paid that cop off.
