New York Jets Wide Receiver Braylon Edwards Arrested for DUI
Early yesterday morning, Braylon Edwards was arrested in New York on suspicion of driving under the influence. He reportedly blew a 0.16% on the breathalyzer. And just like California’s DUI laws, it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or greater.
Edwards was pulled over for having excessively tinted windows on his Range Rover. When the police approached the car, they smelled alcohol (although there were four other people in the SUV at the time).
The Jets general manager said the team would take the appropriate disciplinary measures once they investigate the allegations. Ironically, the team provides a 24-hour luxury car service for all its players to avoid situations just like these. Players aren’t even charged for the service, it’s provided free-of-charge by the ball club.
This isn’t Edwards’s first run-in with the law. He was also arrested last year in Cleveland for punching a friend outside of a nightclub.
