Jets' Robinson faces weapons charge
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Associated Press
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Damien Robinson of the New York Jets was charged with possession of an assault rifle found in his car as he entered Giants Stadium.
The arrest took place several hours before the Jets beat the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Robinson, a free safety, played in the game and was arraigned afterward.
Robinson could face up to five years in prison if convicted. He was released Sunday night on $7,500 bail, and the matter will be turned over to the prosecutor.
It was not clear why Robinson was carrying the assault weapon and ammunition in his sport utility vehicle.
Robinson was entering the players' parking lot at about 10 a.m. with his family when police searched his car, a procedure that has been in place for players, team and game officials and media since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, State Police Sgt. Al Della Fave said Tuesday.
A bomb-sniffing dog checked the vehicle, and "he reacted positively to the presence of explosives" in the back of the car, Della Fave said. Robinson then told authorities he had a rifle, clips and ammunition in the back, Della Fave said.
Police found a Bushmaster .223 assault rifle, three high-capacity magazines that hold 30 rounds each, and two boxes of ammunition containing 100 rounds each.
Anyone else hear any more about this? What the fuck was he thinkin'?!
"Where the HELL have I been?"

| Well you gotta pack heat sometimes.You never know who might steal your car. The Giants Jim Fassel had his car stolen over the weekend while he had his keys in the iginition .
BTW he is a former buc who's a 5 year vet and before that he played for Iowa in college.
Last season he had over 71 tackles as a safety.

| He was (I believe) only free agent Jets signed; he had his best year last year with Bucs under Edwards.
I first heard Sid Rosenberg talk about this on Imus this morning; one interesting thing - they found the rifle BEFORE the game, and they let him play the game before deciding if they should charge him.
Later Jody Mac was talking about it on his show, and pointed out that this shows even the players are now subject to security checks.
