Reuben Foster arrested again

Can't say this comes as a big shock. Really hate it for him because he seems like such a likable guy but several NFL teams passed on the defensive rookie of the year and it wasn't just because of his shoulder injury. It would be a bold move for 49ers to fire him but it's not like RF didn't know what consequences this 'alleged' behavior carries.
Even if the 49ers try and spin it as 'he needs us and football more than we need him, I suspect minimum 6 game suspension and possibility more when you throw in gun charge.
 
If he is found guilty: The conduct code currently states that it's a 6 game suspension for domestic violence. Two arrests in the span of about one month, plus the drug issues prior to the combine last year does not look good at all if you're the Niners. Plus the potential of jail time (1-4 years I believe I saw).

Either way, the team has some big decisions to make .. Foster is young and talented, and Shanahan is trying to build a team. I reckon they keep him to see how things play out, and put heavy punishments on him. 3rd strike and he's out.
 
Wondering what triggered all of this on a Sunday morning. Why mention the guns...

A statement from Los Gatos-Monte Sereno police says officers were dispatched around 9:15 a.m. Sunday to a home on Shannon Road for a welfare check and to respond to a possible disturbance. Foster was eventually arrested without incident.

Police did not release any additional details, but sources familiar with the investigation say the victim told officers that she and Foster were arguing and that he threw her belongings onto a front walkway and balcony. At some point, she said he physically dragged her in an apparent attempt to remove her from the home, sources said.

According to an archived police dispatch radio recording of the 911 call, “the RP (reporting party) advises there should be at least two AR-15 weapons in the house.”

Both that statement and the domestic-violence allegation would provide cause for police to search for and remove any firearms from the home. It was apparently during that search that officers found the allegedly illegal rifle.

Foster was a kneeler earlier in the year. Wonder if that will come into the decision with the 9ers.

What? Jesus Christ.

Out of all of that, there are people that without ever hearing any details that said he should "be done", "is a thug," etc... I rest my case.
