NEWS: CARMELO ANTHONY ARRESTED on suspicion of drunk-driving

CARMELO ANTHONY’S MUGSHOT

Denver Nuggets star forward Carmelo Anthony was arrested on Monday morning on suspicion of drunk-driving, hours after his worst game of the season.

Denver police stated that Anthony was driving south on Interstate 25 at around 4 a.m. when he was pulled over and taken into custody. Investigators said he was driving a silver Mercedes that was stopped for failing to drive in a single lane and failing to dim lights.

“Carmelo was pulled over late Sunday night on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol,” said Anthony’s lawyer Dan Recht in a statement.

“He co-operated by consenting to a blood test, the results of which will not be available for approximately two weeks. There was no accident and no one was hurt. Like anyone in a similar situation, Carmelo has to wait for the results of his blood test. He regrets putting himself in this situation.”

Anthony was released on bond on Monday morning on his own recognizance. A summons appearance was scheduled for May 14.

“We are aware of the situation involving Carmelo Anthony,” said Nuggets vice president of basketball operations Mark Warkentien in a prepared statement. “We are currently gathering information and we will have no further comment at this time.”

    If they thought he was drunk why didn’t they just do a breathalizer test????
    I mean why do a toxicology report? They think he was doing drugs or b/c the breathalizer would’ve been sufficient.

    DRUNK DRIVERS NEVER DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    They will kill a busload of ppl, go to jail, be arraigned the next morning with two scratches on their forehead and dried crusted blood in one nostril and plead not guilty. The judge will then give them a continuance and they will go out and “celebrate” and repeat the cycle all over again. SMH

    This arrogant dumb-ass goes from one situation to another. He keeps getting into trouble, he’s not going to be happy until he gets a year working at Walmart, like Pacman.

    I’m glad he was arrested for DUI he’s trifling to be driving drunk in the first place.. People making up excuses for his behavior he couldve killed himself and others.. He’s so ugly in his face now he wasnt bad looking before but now he’s just YUCK!!!! In 04 I was hit by a drunk driver and suffered fractured ribs a broken right arm numerous cuts and head injuries… If he took a few drinks he shouldve had someone drive him home I’d had the bartender call him a cab.. And lama with her huge owl eyes and ugly self was right to leave his butt right in jail … But now she’s knows he’ll never marry her now not that he was going to anyway engaged since 02 she needs to give it up.. She considers her brown skin wide nose weave wearing self ” Latina” I thought black men said ” other races of women are easier to get along with” or how there “drama free” or how they ” hold them down” or dont want them for there money” but this wench left him jail hmm I wonder if it was ok that she did that because shes suppose to be ” Latina ” even though she was born and raised in atl with her black self… She’s trying to act like she’s not a sister but is involved with a brother and has a black child with him and she doesn’t work except when she gets a gig from time to time…

    I used to think he was soooooooooooooo fine…. NOT in this picture though…. I guess he had a rough night….. I hope its not true… If so then I hope he gets it together and stops driving drunk.

  20. nabstradamus

    ALL THESE COMMENTS AND NO ONE SAYS ANYTHING ON THE BULLSHIT REASON HE WAS PULLED OVER. FAILURE TO DIM LIGHTS, OR BLACK DRIVING A MERCEDES HMMMM I WONDER…. YA’LL NEED TO WAKE UP, IT SAYS SUSPICION NOT GUILT, CUT THE GUY SOME BREAK AND WHEN THEY START NEEDING BLOOD TESTS FOR DRUNK DRIVING, I’M SURE A BREATHALIZER WORKS JUST AS WELL UNLESS THEY TRYING REALLY HARD TO CONVICT A BLACK MAN. WAKE UP PEOPLE.
