Dorial Green-Beckham arrested during traffic stop

Last week, it was widely reported that September was the first calendar month with no active NFL players arrested since July 2009.

Scratch that.

Titans rookie receiver Dorial Green-Beckham was arrested during a traffic stop Wednesday, in Van Buren, Mo., because of an unpaid speeding ticket, according to Chief Nick J. McBroom of the Van Buren Police Department.

Green-Beckham was pulled over Wednesday night on Highway 60 in Missouri for driving 65 mph in a 55 mph zone. The officer ran the receiver’s license and discovered an outstanding warrant for speeding in Osage Beach, Mo.

The 22-year-old was released after paying $92.48 to settle the ticket. He received a written warning for speeding Wednesday.

Green-Beckham faces no repercussions from the Titans, coach Ken Whisenhunt told The Tennessean.

News reports about the "arrest-free" month were based on the NFL Arrests Database maintained by USA TODAY.

Green-Beckham was widely considered a first-round talent, but slid into the second round of the NFL draft because of character concerns that led to his dismissal from the Missouri football team in April 2014. The Titans selected the 6-foot-5, 230-pound receiver with the 40th overall pick.

In three games this season, Green-Beckham has three catches for 35 yards and two touchdowns. He joined teammate Justin Hunter and former Titans wide receiver Tyrone Calico as players who scored on their first two NFL receptions.

The Titans were off last week. They host the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
