Hawks guard Tyler Dorsey was charged in Eugene, Ore., over the weekend with driving under the influence of intoxicants, Michael Cunningham of the Atlanta Journal Constitution relays via a report by KVAL.com. Dorsey was not arrested.
Dorsey, who played college ball at Oregon, allegedly was driving with his lights off early Saturday morning. An open container of alcohol was spotted on the passenger floorboard, according to police.
“The vehicle came to a rolling stop, and then rolled forward again before coming to a complete stop,” the police report said. “Upon speaking with Dorsey, the officer suspected impairment.”
The 6’5” shooting guard posted averages of 7.2 PPG, 2.3 RPG and 1.4 APG in his rookie campaign while appearing in 56 games. He was selected with the No. 41 overall pick in last year’s draft. Dorsey will make $1.378MM next season.
You can be charged with a DUI but not arrested?
Get an uber, idiot.
It was th open container that got him, an Uber would not have helped that!….. Also let’s eait until the verdict before calling him an idiot.
If he did do it, not the smartest of moves when he just started getting pt in the second half of the season.
