Chris Olave Arrest Video Shows NFL Star Telling Cop ‘I Play For The Saints, Man’

New Orleans Saints superstar Chris Olave seemed to be looking for a cop to cut him some slack during his arrest on Monday by name-dropping his NFL employer … but police video, obtained by TMZ Sports, shows law enforcement very clearly did not care.

The footage was captured on a Kenner Police Dept. officer’s body camera at around 9 PM in Louisiana … after cops claimed they clocked Olave going 70 MPH in a 35 MPH zone in his Dodge Charger.

In the footage, you can see just after they pulled Olave over … he seemed to show remorse for the way he was driving — saying, “That’s on me. I was just trying to get home.”

But, seconds later, after a cop told him he was being put under arrest over it all … he appeared to try to get some leeway by telling the officer his occupation.

“My bad, dawg,” Olave said … before adding, “I play for the Saints, man.”

The officer, though, obviously didn’t find that relevant at all … responding, “And?”

Olave then handed over some of his possessions to cops so they could transfer them to his dad … before he was hauled off to jail.

A Kenner Police Dept. spokesperson said Tuesday that Olave was booked on a charge of reckless operation of a motor vehicle … before he was released at 11:30 PM.

Police noted it was the second recent speeding ticket for Olave, who was busted for allegedly doing 54 MPH in a 35 MPH zone in August.

The Saints told media members Monday they were aware of the situation, but did not have a comment. Olave’s brother, meanwhile, wrote on his X page following the incident, “Bro was on the way back to the crib from CVS… aint nun serious.”
