Video footage of former NFL head coach and current Wisconsin Badgers senior adviser Jack Del Rio's arrest was obtained and shared by TMZ Sports on Monday (December 9).
Del Rio, 61, was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated following a crash in Madison, Wisconsin, in the early morning hours of November 8. The former coach was seen moaning in apparent pain before asking if he could use the bathroom in the dashcam footage.
“Can we just take a leak man?” Del Rio asked the arresting officer from the backseat of the squad car. “Look at me. What the f**k?”
“I don’t have anywhere to take you right now, man," the officer responded.
“Can we please go somewhere to take a leak?" Del Rio continued to plead.
Del Rio declined a breathalyzer test and was told by the arresting officer that he would be seeking a warrant to get a blood test, which led to the coach continuing to groan.
"It’s just this pain,” Del Rio said before claiming his "f**king arm won't work" once they arrived at their destination.
Del Rio, a former NFL linebacker, had previously worked as the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars (2003-2011) and then-Oakland Raiders (2015-2017), as well as a defensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers (2002), Denver Broncos (2012-2014) and Washington Commanders (2020-2023). The veteran coach was hired as a senior advisor to Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell in August.
