Barnaby Arrested For DWI

Television sports analyst Matthew Barnaby was arrested earlier this month in the state of New York on suspicion of drinking and driving. Barnaby, who worked as an analyst for ESPN, was pulled over near Clarence, New York around 3 o'clock in the morning on December 5th after sheriff's deputies responded to calls of a SUV driving erratically and while missing a tire. When local law enforcement agents caught up to Barnaby, they found him driving his Porsche Cayenne on three tires and just one rim, which was causing sparks on the roadway. His vehicle was also said to have had "significant" damage to the front end. Officers at the scene administered several field sobriety tests, which Barnaby reportedly performed poorly on. Barnaby refused a breath analysis test at the scene to determine his blood alcohol content and was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI). ESPN terminated its contract with Barnaby immediately after news of Barnaby's arrest surfaced. Barnaby had also had legal trouble earlier this year when he and his ex-wife were involved in a domestic dispute in which Barnaby was charged with several related criminal charges. No word has been given as to when Barnaby is expected in court.
