When officers entered, Wilson apparently got up from a sofa and ran to the apartment’s balcony in an apparent escape attempt, but ultimately stayed and received a trespass warning. The students at the party would have faced worse repercussions, including drugs, curfews and fugitive violations.

Vrabel comments:
“We managed it. I spoke to Isaiah and the team, spoke to him privately and continue to speak to the team and stress the importance of the decisions we make outside of the building when it comes to who we are. are around because of COVID. Long before that, we’ve been insisting on their behavior outside the building since I’ve been here. This is something important for this organization, [controlling owner Amy Strunk] and to [Titans general manager Jon Robinson] and me. So we have to learn from this, continue to stress the importance that you do not just talk about yourself in this pandemic, but also talk about the other players and their families.
