California Highway Patrol officers from the West Valley Area office noticed a speeding white Dodge sedan on the northbound Ventura Freeway, south of Tampa Avenue, at 5:13 a.m. After the officers stopped the sedan, the driver identified himself as Demarcus Dontavian Robinson, according to a CHP statement.
Officers observed what they determined to be "symptoms of alcohol impairment" and arrested Robinson on suspicion of driving under the influence, and Robinson was "released to a responsible party," according to the CHP.
Robinson, 30, has 26 receptions for 384 yards and a career-best six touchdowns this season. He caught a touchdown pass in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles at SoFi Stadium.
A Rams spokesman said the team was aware of the situation, and that coach Sean McVay would address it with reporters at a regularly scheduled news conference on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The celebrity news and entertainment website TMZ.com was first to report on Robinson's arrest.
Anyone who has information regarding Robinson's arrest was asked to call the CHP West Valley Bureau at 818-888-0980 and request to speak to Public Information Officer Sturges.
