In a shocking turn of events, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was apprehended by Kenner police on Monday evening for allegedly driving at an excessive speed down Joe Yenni Boulevard. The incident, captured on body cam footage, revealed that Olave was driving at least double the speed limit, prompting the arresting officer to take action.

The footage clearly shows the arresting officer noting Olave's speed at "at least 80" miles per hour in a 35 mph zone. However, the radar gun registered his speed at 70 miles per hour. This blatant disregard for the law led to Olave's arrest on charges of reckless operation of a motor vehicle.

Following his arrest, Olave spent the night in detention at the Kenner jail and was released at 11:30 p.m. on Monday. The incident took a surprising turn when Olave attempted to use his NFL status as leverage during the arrest. However, the arresting officer swiftly dismissed any notion of special treatment, responding with a curt "And?".

This is not the first time Olave has found himself in trouble for speeding. The Kenner Police Department press release disclosed that this recent incident marks his second offense in just a few months. On August 21, Olave was ticketed for driving 54 mph in a 35 mph zone, indicating a pattern of reckless driving behavior.

The New Orleans Saints organization has not yet released an official statement regarding this incident. It remains to be seen how the team will handle the situation and whether any disciplinary actions will be taken against Olave.

Reckless driving poses a serious threat to public safety and is a punishable offense under the law. The Kenner Police Department is committed to ensuring the safety of its residents and will continue to enforce traffic regulations to maintain order on the city's streets.

As this story unfolds, local residents and Saints fans alike are left wondering about the future repercussions for Chris Olave and how this incident will impact his career with the team.
