Well, here's another sad, head-scratching story from TMZ — this one involving former Gophers and NFL running back Marion Barber III. Barber was arrested in June — at the time, few details were known — but these details on the incident have emerged from a police report:
TFD: Ex-Gopher, NFL RB Marion Barber III arrested after allegedly flashing gun in church
September 10, 2014 at 2:26PM
According to the police report, cops were first called to the scene after the former Dallas Cowboys star entered a church with a loaded 9mm handgun — and 3 magazines … containing 51 hollow-point bullets.
When cops got to the church, officers say Barber seemed disoriented — and one cop says "He heard Barber state he did not know what year it was or where he was at."
Cops spoke with a pastor at the church who told them … Barber had been speaking erratically inside the church and "removed his jacket showing the congregants his firearm in public."
