Moreno Arrested for DUI

Professional football player Knowshon Moreno was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) earlier this month while driving near Denver, Colorado. Moreno, who plays the position of running back for the Denver Broncos, was initially pulled over by local law enforcement agents because he was speeding down a Colorado highway in what turned out to be a construction zone on February 1st. According to reports, Moreno's convertible Bentley was driving at 70 miles per hour in an area where the posted speed limit was just 45 miles per hour. Upon approaching the football player's car, officers at the scene report that Moreno smelled like alcohol. He was given a field sobriety test, which he reportedly performed poorly on. Ironically enough, the license plate on Moreno's vehicle read "SAUCED." Moreno, who officers say was "very respectful and polite," submitted to a chemical test to determine his blood alcohol level, but results have not yet been released. Moreno was arrested for DUI. No word has been given as to when Moreno is next expected in court.
