\u2064use his occupation to get in good with the local police.<\/p>\n<p>There was one problem for the officer\u200d who took the former <a

he was driving double the \u200bspeed limit\u200c \u2014 70 in \u2062a 35 \u2014 when he was pulled over while\u2064 driving a Dodge Charger.<\/p>\n<p>Police in Kenner say <a

the Kenner Police Department put it, Olave was \u201cobserved traveling at \u200bthe high rate of speed, recklessly maneuvering between lanes\u200c and around other drivers on the roadway.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The department released\u2064 footage \u200dof the player\u2019s arrest on Tuesday afternoon that \u200dshows Olive\u200c exiting his vehicle just after 11 p.m. on \u200dMonday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTurn around,\u201d the officer told him as the player was handcuffed.<\/p>\n<p>As the arresting \u2064officer explained to Olive why he was pulled over and why he was being handcuffed, the \u206323-year-old made an unusual statement.<\/p>\n<p>As \u200bhe was informed he was going <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/trump-says-willing-go-jail-takes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">to jail<\/a>, Olave expressed some remorse\u2063 over his alleged dangerous driving.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy bad, dawg.\u2063 I play for the Saints, man,\u201d he said as he was about to be placed into the back of a police cruiser.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2064 isn\u2019t clear if Olive\u2019s arresting officer is an <a

young and having the world at his fingertips made Olave feel invincible, which is \u200dunderstandable, \u2062given his age, wealth and fame.<\/p>\n<p>But speed kills.<\/p>\n<p>Speed doesn\u2019t just
