发帖数: 58873 | 1 Atlanta Falcons running back Michael Turner was booked in the Gwinnett
County Jail early Tuesday morning on charges of driving under the influence
of alcohol and speeding in the metro Atlanta area.
Turner, 30, was booked shortly after 5 a.m., mere hours after the Falcons
beat the Denver Broncos 27-21 on national television. According to jail
records, Turner was released on $2,179 bond around 7 a.m.
Lt. Sean Smith of the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office said Turner's traffic
citation shows he was driving 97 mph in a 65-mph speed zone. Turner's black
Audi r8 was pulled over traveling on Interstate 85 northeast of Atlanta.
"The officer made contact with the driver who identified himself as 30-year-
old Michael Turner of the Atlanta Falcons," Cpl. Edwin Ritter said in a news
release. "The officer could smell an odor of alcoholic beverage coming from
the driver and proceeded to conduct a DUI investigation."
The game itself went well for the Northern Illinois product who has played
in Atlanta the past five seasons, as he set a franchise record with his 51st
touchdown as a Falcon.
“We are aware of the situation involving Michael and are in the process of
gathering more information," the Falcons organization said in a statement. "
Because this is now a legal matter, the club will have no further comment at
this time.”
Further details on Turner's arrest will be released later on Tuesday |
