You had to see this coming with the way he handled reports that he was visiting a rehab center. He tried to deny it and was not facing up to his problem and was too worried about what other people were thinking rather than owning his problem. He was being held in jail over night, which probably means he was really drunk or there were some other aggravating circumstances. Police Sergeant Loren Jansen said multiple charges are pending against Robinson, so when everything comes out it isn't going to be pretty. Sherriff Dave Lange told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that along with drunken driving, Robinson is accused of fleeing police, reckless driving, speeding and driving without a valid license.
If you remember, some reports surfaced of him visiting a treatment center back in June, which he denied after his agent was partly responsible for leaking the story. He did finally address the situation, but his approach was disconcerting. At the time I said the following:
"The one thing that is a little concerning was his reluctance to address the issue. Part of recovery is owning his problem, and it is not necessarily a good sign that his biggest concern was not wanting "anybody to see those reports and get it twisted that I screwed up." Being in the public eye must be difficult, but it would be a good sign for his continued recovery if he was past worrying about what other people think as far as his substance abuse problem goes."
