Just goes to show that the Bengals do not have a corner on stupid behavior in the NFL.
PHOENIX - Former NFL running back Richie Anderson, now an assistant coach with the Arizona Cardinals, was arrested during a Phoenix police anti-prostitution operation.
Anderson, 35, was arrested at about 9:30 p.m. Thursday for soliciting prostitution at about 9:30 p.m., Sgt. Andy Hill said. The department's vice unit was conducting an undercover sting operation in south Phoenix when Anderson allegedly solicited an officer posing as a prostitute.
Ken Whisenhunt, the Cardinals new head coach, hired Anderson as wide receivers coach in January. He played 13 seasons in the NFL with the New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys. He was a 2000 Pro Bowl selection while with the Jets and holds the team record for receptions by a running back at 305.
He retired as a player after the 2005 season and spent 2006 as an assistant wide receivers and tight end coach with the Jets.
Cardinals officials said they planned to release a statement on Anderson's arrest.

<< <i>The police need to find something better to do. People getting robbed and killed and this is what they spend tax dollars on. Consenting people making a business transaction, not hurting anyone, is hardly even a crime. >>
I could not agree more.
The cops are just doing their jobs.
<< <i>Instead of railing on the police who are doing their duty in upholding these laws, how about going after the lawmakers who make these ridiculous laws to begin with?

Understandable, good point.

Yeah, you're right. The cops are good guys. I guess it's the lawmakers I should have a problem with. Although there are many laws on the books that the police determine not to be worth pursuing. It would be very easy for them to stop these kinds of set-ups. A high ranking poilice officer is the one that makes the decision to set up a sting operation. It's kind of like when an officer decides not to give you a speeding ticket for going 70 in a 55. You broke the law but it's his choice whether or not to pursue it.
