As it turns out, bubble gum is not an accepted form of legal tender in the state of Florida. That's an inconvenient policy that Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Dwayne Gratz discovered the hard way over the weekend when he was arrested in Miami for misdemeanor charges of disorderly intoxication and trespassing.

Gratz was arrested at 5:43 a.m. ET after police responded to a disturbance at a Miami Beach store, according to police reports obtained by Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union. The report claims that a drunken Gratz attempted to purchase items with gum and refused to leave the store.

Gratz, who was torched by Dez Bryant in London last week, was the only Jaguars player not present at practice on Monday. Head coach Gus Bradley referred to "an unfortunate situation" but would not discuss specifics.

"I'll meet with him and we'll handle it internally," Bradley said. "It's not good what took place, but it is a matter we have to investigate even more when he gets back here. I want to talk to him and we'll handle some things with him."

The Jaguars were on a bye last week and play the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday.

In fairness to Gratz, he had never been to Miami before. How was he supposed to know about their quirky monetary system?

Yeah, Gratz is literally retarded. That much has been known. This doesn't help him any though.

If I worked at a gas station, and someone paid me in Bubbalicious strawberry gum, I'd give them whatever the hell they want. I fucking love that gum, and it's so hard to find nowadays...

Worst part was that his breath smelled like a thousand fingers and pocket lint.

Anyone watch Trailer Park Boys on Netflix? This reminds me of Ricky paying everyone in hash coins. It works for Ricky.

What's so ironic is that gum can be one of the best currencies to carry around, and it is international. A stick of gum has gotten me hotel room, car rental, and airline seat upgrades. It's a phenomenal gift for someone who otherwise is often unappreciated.
