Sports Drunks

Well the search for relevant articles on DUIs this week was a bust. It appears that a sports drunk has stolen all the headlines. I have included a summary of an article from the Daily News:

NEW YORK (AP) -- Seattle SuperSonics forward Rashard Lewis was suspended for one game without pay by the NBA on Thursday for reckless driving.

Lewis, who will miss the Sonics' game Friday night at Portland, pleaded guilty to reckless driving and was given a one-year suspended sentence Monday, five months after he failed sobriety and breath tests during a stop on Interstate 90.

...Lewis will serve 24 hours of community service, two years of probation and pay $175 to reimburse the State Patrol for emergency response costs.

...Lewis failed a field sobriety test and was taken to the Mercer Island Police Department, where he registered a 0.132 and 0.122 on successive breath tests.
