"That's a sober man right there" - Social media pokes fun at Marshawn Lynch mugshot following his arrest 

​

Marshawn Lynch arrested in Las Vegas.

It's been a while since we saw Marshawn Lynch dominate the headlines, but the former Seattle Seahawks running back put that situation to bed this week for all the wrong reasons.

Lynch was arrested in Las Vegas in the early hours of Tuesday, August 9, for driving under the influence.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department tweeted a statement saying that Lynch was arrested at a vehicle stop near Las Vegas Boulevard.

The former Seattle Seahawk has been keeping himself busy since calling time on his playing career. Lynch is a minority owner of NHL franchise Seattle Kraken and Seattle's own, Macklemore.

He's also an investor in Oakland Roots, a soccer club currently playing in the second-tier US men's soccer.

Seahawks announce broadcast team for their preseason games. Seahawks also announce that later this season, Marshawn Lynch will also act as a special correspondent for the team, where he will produce creative content for a variety of projects.

Lynch hasn't strayed too far from the NFL, though. Earlier this week, the Seahawks announced that Lynch would act as a "special correspondent" for the team in the preseason, though it remains to be seen if that's the case following his arrest in Las Vegas.
