Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte’ Stallworth told police he did not feel drunk in the hours before he struck and killed a pedestrian with his car.
Stallworth told police that he drank four shots of premium tequila while partying with friends, including fellow Browns receiver Braylon Edwards, and lab tests later showed Stallworth had a blood-alcohol level of .126, above Florida’s .08 limit. He encountered 59-year-old Mario Reyes while driving out for breakfast in his 2005 Bentley.
“I seen him in the street and I flashed my lights at him to let him at least know I was coming. I tried to swerve over as much as I could,” Stallworth said. “If he would have completely stopped and not kept going … don’t know why he kept going. I don’t know. I should have just stayed home.”
Edwards said he and Stallworth had drinks earlier in the day by the pool at the hotel before meeting at the nightclub and confirmed that Stallworth didn’t seem impaired when they parted ways early the morning of the crash.
Toxicology analysis also confirmed reports that Stallworth tested positive for marijuana in addition to alcohol. Neither Stallworth nor Edwards mentioned any use of marijuana. Stallworth has been suspended indefinitely by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell now.
Possiblity of Stallworth's future is unclear. Not sure if he will be released by the Brwons or be able to wear other team such as denver broncos jersey if so.
