NEW YORK (AP) – Jayson Williams is already in prison for accidentally killing a limo driver, but the former NBA star still is contending with another criminal case.
He has a court date Friday in New York City for a drunken-driving case stemming from a car wreck a week before his January guilty plea in the driver’s 2002 death.
The former New Jersey Nets player has pleaded not guilty to driving while intoxicated.
Prosecutors say he had a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit after his SUV crashed into a tree Jan. 5.
The 42-year-old Williams is serving a five-year prison sentence in New Jersey. That’s where he pleaded guilty to aggravated assault for fatally shooting driver Costas Christofi.
He retired from basketball in 2000.
