{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}According to reports at the time, witnesses told police Rosas was driving carelessly at 100 mph around 8:25 a.m. in Chico, Calif., when he supposedly failed to stop at a red light.
He then allegedly slammed his black SUV into the side of a pickup truck and drove on. Witnesses saw the NFL player exit the car after it eventually broke down.
Police later found Rosas on the side of the road with blood on his hands, legs and bare feet, ESPN reported. Although the initial police report cited alcohol impairment, Wednesday’s charges did not reflect that.
