James Posey DUI Options

[Balta1701-B]

Just when you think an NBA player can't do anything more to make you dislike them...they decide to drive drunk.

Miami Heat forward James Posey was arrested early Monday on a drunken driving charge after an officer pulled him over for stopping in the middle of a road.

Posey had stopped his car on a double-lane Miami Beach road, talking to occupants of other vehicles and pedestrians, police said.

Once out of the car, Posey displayed "bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and an odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath," the police report said. The player also was unsteady on his feet and swayed while standing, police said.

Posey was arrested and taken to Miami-Dade County jail. He was later released on $1,000 bond.

Posey was not with the team for practice Monday and it was unknown whether he will fly with the team to Charlotte for its game Tuesday. Heat coach Pat Riley said after practice that the team will wait to collect "all the facts" before making any decisions on Posey's status.

When Miami plays at Charlotte, it will be without center Shaquille O'Neal, who has been excused to attend the funeral for his paternal grandfather.

You know, I think it's only a matter of time before we see someone in one of the major sports in this country actually kill someone while driving drunk. Go Charlotte.

Dead serious.

And I thought he couldn't be anymore of a lowlife off of the floor than he was on it...
