What was Michael Irvin addicted to?

After police searched his car during a traffic check, former Dallas Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin was charged with misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia, according to Plano police.

Irvin, an ESPN commentator and Pro Football Hall of Fame candidate, was stopped for speeding in Plano on Friday afternoon and was later arrested in Irving on a warrant for the same offense, according to the Plano Police Department. According to police spokesman Mike Johnson, the type of paraphernalia discovered is unknown.

When he was detained in 1996 on suspicion of cocaine possession, his issues with cocaine and alcohol consumption became public. After retiring in 2005, he was detained for cocaine possession once more, and his hosting duties on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown were terminated. Brian Bahr of Allsport took pictures of this activity.

In 2007, he was chosen for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The most recent event, one of the most well-known off-field incidents, took place in the summer of 1996. Police claim that topless dancers and former Irvin colleague Alfredo Roberts were found with him. A 27-year-old woman who is a witness in the case claims that Irvin drugged and raped her.

He alleges that he has once again become the target of blackmail. For his conduct in a 2011 carjacking attempt, Mike Irvin was known. He portrayed Deacon Moss in Adam Sandler’s rendition of The Longest Yard.
