Former Ohio State University running back Maurice Clarett was stopped early this morning after a freeway chase on the East Side. Loaded weapons were found in his vehicle.

Police said that Clarett resisted arrest and was wearing a bullet-proof vest that frustrated attempts to use a taser on him.

WBNS-10TV reported that police initially tried to stop Clarett around 2:30 a.m. for making a U-turn on Brice Road. Clarett then led police on a chase on I-70 to Rt. 256 in Pickerington. Clarett then got back on I-70 westbound, where tire spikes were used to slow his vehicle.

Clarett exited the freeway at Brice Road, where he was finally stopped and arrested in a restaurant parking lot.

Police said they found three handguns and an assault rifle in the vehicle. All the weapons were loaded, and additional ammunition was discovered in the vehicle. Police said they also found a half-empty bottle of vodka in the vehicle.

Delicious.  Next story published, he'll have been gunned down in a drug deal gone bad, and they'll find a bag of oregano in his car.

A guy with 4 loaded weapons and a bullet proof vest on.  I'm sure he was headed for a choir recital.

[Diomedes]

Wherever he was headed, it's too bad he didn't decide to get started early when the cops started after him.  A rolling shoot out with the police would have made for much better Wednesday morning entertainment.

[Susquehanna Birder]

It's all because the NFL wouldn't take him early. Shame on them.

Police then found an arsenal of weapons inside the SUV, including a loaded assault rifle and three loaded handguns. A hatchet, clothing and an open bottle of vodka were also taken from the vehicle, Wayne reported.

[Diomedes]

Holy god he looks awful.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Looks like he got roughed up a little bit.

What a whacko.

[General_Failure]

C'mon now, who doesn't keep a hatchet in their car?

[phattymatty]

and apparently bullet proof vests work for tasers now.  who knew?

The PSU RB curse shifted west to OSU, thanks to Larry Johnson and Maurice Clarett.
