NEW YORK (AP) – Prosecutors say New York Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards told police he had a couple of drinks before being pulled over in New York City – and also suggested they let him leave his luxury SUV and go home.
Edwards was released without bail after being arraigned Tuesday on a drunken-driving charge.
His lawyer says Edwards is exhausted and focused on getting back to his team.
Police say they pulled Edwards over around 5:15 a.m. on Manhattan’s West Side because his Land Rover SUV’s windows were too tinted. Authorities say officers smelled alcohol on his breath, and a test showed his blood-alcohol level was twice the legal limit.
Edwards was already on probation for punching a man outside a Cleveland nightclub.
