San Diego Charger Defensive Lineman Jamal Williams May Face DUI Charges
The San Diego City Attorney's Office is considering pressing charges against the San Diego Chargers lineman, Jamal Williams, for driving his car under the influence of alcohol.
Jamal Williams was arrested on February 1, 2009, on State Route 94 on the suspicion of drunk driving after he was pulled over for speeding in his Bentley. However, when Williams took the blood test his BAC was just under the illegal limit at .07%. The California Highway Patrol administered the test well after the arrest. That means that he could have been intoxicated while driving. You can read more in this 10news.com story.
Drunk driving is no joke and Williams may have placed lives in danger if he was indeed driving drunk. However, if the test that was administered showed that he wasn't drunk then the case should be dropped. It would be unfair to charge someone with a DUI simply on speculation. Also, no accident was caused due to his driving.
The City Attorney's office says that the case is still under investigation.
