How messed up is Charles Rogers? This messed up: He’d rather go to jail than to Alcoholics Anonymous.
Rogers, the former Michigan State star receiver and first-round pick of the Detroit Lions — an NFL bust — failed another court-ordered substance-abuse test and opted for jail in Novi, Mich., rather than continuing in a sobriety court program.
Earlier this month, Rogers was caught falsifying records to indicate he attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings — one of several sobriety court conditions — when he hadn’t.
Rogers originally was arrested in September 2008 and charged with assault and battery of a female acquaintance. In December of that year he violated probation and was sentenced to attend sobriety court as an alternative to jail.
With time off for good behavior, Rogers will be released in mid-April. However, with the kind of decision-making prowess he’s recently displayed, I’m confident that at some point jail inmates once again will have Mr. Rogers back in their neighborhood.
