Riley Sheahan, a prospect for the Detroit Red Wings, was arrested back in late October for drunk driving, but when he was pulled over, he was found dressed as a Teletubby. Not only was his choice of costume an indication that Sheahan was drunk, but he also blew a .30, which is four times above the legal limit. In addition, he was almost two times above the limit for being classified as “super-drunk.” We have footage from the dash cam of that arrest, which is courtesy of the Grand Rapids Police Department: I actually live not far away from Grand Rapids and went to a Grand Rapids Griffins game earlier this year (they are an affiliate with the Red Wings, and they’re the team in which Sheahan plays on). Sheahan actually scored a hat trick in that game I went to. I think that game was a few days after he got arrested too. [WZZM13, via Huffington Post]

First...Riley Sheahan's "super drunk" act is nothing laugh it. At .30, he was just under four times the legal limit (of .08), driving the wrong way down a Grand Rapids one-way street and basically turning himself and his vehicle into a weapon.
That's not good, and neither is the fact that he had Brendan Smith's driver's license. I'm sure he&...

I wasn’t sure if this was worth posting on NOHS at first.

Then this information came out recently and, being that it’s become national news, we had to have something on it. Plus it happened right...
