Ex-Raider Robbins charged with attempted murder

Former Oakland Raiders center Barret Robbins was charged Wednesday with three counts of attempted felony murder, less than a week after being shot during a struggle with a detective investigating a burglary call.

Robbins, a former Pro Bowler, was wounded Saturday night after Miami Beach police found him inside an administrative office at a building housing a nightclub, gym and jewelry store.

A charge of attempted felony murder can be filed when someone is injured while committing a felony.

Robbins, who suffers from bipolar disorder and alcoholism, also was charged with two counts of attempting to deprive an officer of his weapon, two counts of resisting an officer with violence and trespassing, the Miami-Dade County state attorney's office said.

Police said 31-year-old Robbins, listed at 6 feet 3, 315 pounds by the Raiders, was confronted by Detective Mike Muley. Police said they struggled over Muley's gun before the detective shot Robbins, who lives in Oakland, Calif.

Robbins was critically injured. Muley received hospital treatment for minor head injuries.

Robbins was arrested last month in San Francisco for hitting a security guard at a nightclub. He was cut by the Raiders last July after testing positive for steroids.

Robbins is the fucking incredible hulk. Reports I heard say that the cops shot him twice in the chest and he roared like a lion and laughed as he knocked the cop's gun out of his hands...
