Is this guy going for some kind of a record? Has any other athlete been arrested three times in a 24 hour period?

Former Detroit Lions wide receiver Titus Young was arrested twice in a 15-hour span Sunday, according to Riverside County, Calif., authorities.

Young was pulled over at 12:01 a.m. Sunday in Southern California after making an illegal left turn, according to the police report. Young was then arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence, booked by the Moreno Valley Police at the Robert Presley Detention Center, issued a citation and later released.
At 2:22 p.m. that same afternoon, officers responded to a local tow yard after a man was seen climbing over a fence. The man turned out to be Young, who said he was looking for his impounded black Mustang.
Young was then arrested for burglary and booked again at the same detention center.
The Lions waived the troubled Young on Feb. 4. Young, a second-round draft pick in 2011, was disciplined multiple times last season. He was told to stay away from the Lions' facility because he intentionally lined up wrong in a Week 14 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
During his time with Detroit, Young also was sent home by the team on three different occasions -- once for punching teammate Louis Delmas during an offseason workout program, then twice for repeated insubordinate behavior.
Young was claimed off waivers by the St. Louis Rams but ultimately released 10 days later.
Information from ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert was used in this report.
 
Do you have any idea how bad of a fvckup you have to be to be out of the league just two years after being a second round pick? Now a fifth round or so guy? Yeah, if you are too much trouble, they will cut you loose as a warning to other players not to make waves. But a pick in the beginning of the second round?
 
He has talent, but something is seriously wrong with him. He legitimately needs some sort of professional help. His antics are going to screw up his employment prospects and he'll regret it soon enough if he doesn't clean up.

The thing is that, with his talent, he can always straighten himself up and play in the Arena League or somewhere for a short time and prove that he can be stay out of trouble. If he could do that, he could still have a pretty nice career. It won't be easy to do so, but if he can swallow his pride and take some responsibility for his actions, it is possible.

He's still very young so he has a chance. I've read somewhere though that he has a disorder of some sort, possibly bi-polar, and doesn't take the medication prescribed so he should work on that before it's too late.
