McNabb had extreme DUI in Arizona
Former NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb’s blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit during an arrest in Arizona in June on suspicion of driving under the influence.
Gilbert (Ariz.) Police in suburban Phoenix said McNabb’s blood alcohol tested at 0.17. In Arizona, the legal limit is 0.08, with 0.15 or higher considered extreme DUI. According to police, McNabb’s vehicle rear-ended a vehicle of a police officer’s wife on June 28. No one was injured and McNabb was later released after being cited.
At the scene of the accident, McNabb’s eyes were “very bloodshot and his speech was slurred,” the arrest report indicated. McNabb told the officer that he had been at a sports bar but wasn’t drinking because he was sick.
“Well. first of all, I got a cold. So I’ve been on cough medicine,” McNabb said.
