Pro Skater Takes Angel Dust, Allegedly Freaks Out In Midtown Hotel

Jereme Rogers' character in Tony Hawk's Proving Ground video game.

It is a new year, so about time for another celebrity breakdown in a hotel, eh? In the same vein as Charlie Sheen trashing the Plaza's Eloise Suite and Daniel Baldwin's naked run in that same hotel (shouting "BALDWIN!") the News reports that Christian skater and sometimes musician Jereme Rogers went on a angel dust-fueled rampage through the Afinia Shelburn Hotel's 11th floor hallway this morning around 9:30 a.m. Which must have been one heck of a wake up call for some travelers!

The NYPD will only confirm that an emotionally disturbed male was transported this morning from the hotel to Bellevue and the hotel is staying mum but the News seems pretty confident it was Rogers. And it wouldn't be the first time the recently un-retired religious skater's drug abuse caused him trouble: "In June 2009, the Redondo Beach-based boarder stripped nude and started ranting from a rooftop, prompting cops to pull him down." No charges were filed then and he later blamed the incident on some shrooms.

According to the NYPD no charges against the man taken from Shelburn hotel are pending. Still, the real question all of this raises to us is: People are still willing take angel dust?

He was probably just trying to collect the S-K-A-T-E.

Judging from the picture, I would expect Meth was more his flavor

Jereme is actually just a party monster. He still skates like a champ.

Last paragraph says there are no charges pending. An article on ESPN states, Detective Brian Sessa, a spokesperson for the New York Police
Department, confirmed that Rogers, 26, was arrested and has been charged
with criminal mischief and unlawful possession of marijuana.Maybe this was a later development...

Did he take a time machine to the 80s? Who even does this crap anymore?

judging from the size of his pupils, some drugs isn't a bad idea.

"People are still willing take angel dust?"

Hey, you keep telling us that he's Christian and "religious." What could be more Christian than angel dust?

PCP never went away - it just comes and goes on the media radar. Popular in lots of circles including lots of skate/graffiti/hiphop scenes....
