Details of Julian Edelman's Court Date Emerge Following Vandalism Arrest
Julian Edelman is not used to having so much free time in January, and the New England Patriots wide receiver used his newfound leisure time to get arrested Saturday night in Beverly Hills.
Edelman was charged with vandalism after leaping onto a stranger's Mercedes, and no, he's not getting out of this without a court appearance.
#Patriots WR Julian Edelman was arrested at 9 pm last night in Beverly Hills, the city’s PD said confirming a @TMZ report. Charged with vandalism after he jumped onto a driver’s vehicle causing damage, he was cited and is scheduled to appear at the Airport Courthouse on April 13.

Edelman having to appear in court is more of a formality, but still a bad look for the receiver. That is true regardless of the severity of the crime.
Julian Edelman was arrested after allegedly jumping on the hood of someone’s Mercedes “for some unknown reason” and causing damage.

Chalk this up as one of the more bizarre stories during an already wild NFL postseason. Edelman probably thought he would be focusing on the AFC Championship Game at this point in time. Instead, he is planning a trip back to Beverly Hills in April to appear in front of a judge at...Airport Court?!
The Patriots dynasty may be unraveling, and Edelman's arrest and court date could be significant blips on a very dark 2020 timeline. Or, you know, it could just be a bizarre footnote on next year's championship.
