Raiders star rookie Nate Hobbs begged an officer to not arrest him during his speeding stop last month … with police video showing the football player told the cop, “I’ve already been arrested two weeks ago!”
In the footage, obtained by TMZ Sports, you can see a Nevada State Police officer was livid with Hobbs on Jan. 16 in the Las Vegas area after he said he observed the guy going 110 MPH in a 65 MPH zone.
The cop can be heard chastising Hobbs in the clip after taking him out of his Mercedes … saying the Raiders cornerback was putting everyone in danger by driving recklessly.
Hobbs tried to explain that he was in a hurry to make it to a football meeting on time … but the officer was not pleased to hear that explanation.
“Why would you put yourself and everybody else out here on the roadway in extreme danger because you’re going to a meeting?” the cop said. “Explain that to me.”
When Hobbs apologized and insinuated it was a mistake … the officer retorted, “Over 110 miles an hour? No signaling, cutting cars off, that’s an honest mistake? No, that’s a poor choice.”
The cop then threatened to arrest Hobbs — and that’s when the Las Vegas player began pleading with him to reconsider.
Hobbs — who had just been arrested for DUI in Vegas on Jan. 3 — said, “I’ve already been arrested two weeks ago! I cannot be arrested again, sir. Please.”
He added, “I’m begging you. I swear, I’m begging you.”
Fortunately for Hobbs, the cop decided to not arrest him … and instead hit him with a citation, towed his car and allowed him to leave.
Hobbs had played in the Raiders’ playoff game against the Cincinnati Bengals the day before the stop … recording eight total tackles and a pass deflection.
