Former Pro Bowl Player Arrested July 4th for DUI

A former Pro Bowl fullback was arrested July 4th after a minor accident in which his vehicle collided with a pole when he ran off the road.

The player was arrested in Fresno when a police-administered field sobriety test determined that he was driving under the influence of alcohol, and over the legal limit.

Fortunately, neither the man nor anyone else was injured, as there were no passengers in his car.

He acknowledged having consumed a few alcoholic beverages and was slightly over the legal limit. He had no prior history of problems with the law, and is generally regarded as a well-mannered and greatly respected individual, so he was allowed to go home with a friend without going to jail.

It is all too easy for even the best of individuals to make a mistake and drive under the influence. If you have been arrested for DUI and this is your first DUI offense it may be possible for a skilled attorney to have your charges dismissed or significantly reduced.
