Tank Johnson under legal limit in DUI arrest

GILBERT, Ariz. (AP) - Tank Johnson's blood alcohol level was below the legal limit when the former Chicago Bears tackle was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving June 22.

Johnson's blood alcohol level was .072, under the presumptive limit in Arizona of .08 percent, police Sgt. Andrew Duncan said Monday. No charges have been filed pending results of a completed investigation. Johnson, whose legal name is Terry Darnell Johnson, was arrested when officers pulled him over at 3:30 a.m. for driving 40 mph in a 25 mph zone. Duncan said an officer placed him under arrest because he believed Johnson was under the influence of alcohol. He was released without being booked or charged after providing a blood sample, and police said he was very cooperative. The 25-year-old player was released by the Bears three days after his arrest. The team said it was "upset and embarrassed" by the defensive tackle's legal troubles.Johnson already had been suspended for the first eight games of the 2007 season for violating probation on a gun charge. He spent two months in jail and was released in May.

In the end, he was whacked over 40 in a 25. That's harsh.

1 bad apple spoils a bunch. We're going to see a lot more of this shit I think.

Something tells me the Bears don't care.

He still drank and got behind the wheel, in the midst of everything he is going through.

That alone shows he is a moron.

Maybe Ron Mexico can get him a job running one of his dog fights!

D'oh.

Poor fella. :rolleyes: I'm sure he knew that his BAC was .008 below the legal limit when he stepped behind the wheel.

Not sure how the law is there but here in Arkansas if you get pulled over and the officer believes you are impaired you don't have to be at or above the legal limit. They can right you a DWI for a 0.02

Sign him up!

His reputation precedes him.

As the saying goes, suck one d*** and you're a c***sucker the rest of your life.

i don't drink so i may have a misunderstanding. i thought dui was up to .08. dwi kicked in at .08 or above.

Thats what I thought too, but DUI's could be any other things such as pot, and other drugs IIRC.

he's probably already in Denver.

Let's get him!

All this means is he can get a little bit more money and a few more teams will be calling him.
