[edit] Criminal charges
Rolle played for the University of Miami, and added to the school's "Thug U." reputation following an incident his senior year in which the star cornerback -- whose father Al Rolle was Homestead police chief -- was arrested by City of Miami police on misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct, breach of the peace, and resisting an officer without violence, plus felony battery on a law enforcement officer.
[edit] Arizona Cardinals
Rolle's career did not start off well mainly because of torn cartilage in his left knee suffered September 25, 2005 in a game against the Seattle Seahawks. The torn cartilage required surgery on October 3, 2005 and put Rolle out for almost the entire 2005 NFL season.
Rolle returned and played on December 11, 2005 against the Washington Redskins, where he recorded his first interception and returned it for 29 yards. He played in week 14 and again in week 15 against the Houston Texans.
