MIAMI (AP) — Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte' Stallworth says he had about four shots of tequila but did not feel drunk in the hours before he struck and killed a pedestrian in Miami with his car.
In a recorded police interview, Stallworth said he met fellow Browns player Braylon Edwards and other friends at a Miami Beach club. Stallworth said he drank the tequila, went to his Miami condo for a nap and was headed out for breakfast when he struck and killed 59-year-old Mario Reyes.
Lab tests showed Stallworth's blood-alcohol level was .126, above Florida's .08 legal limit. Stallworth said he didn't feel impaired and Edwards said his friend seemed fine.
Stallworth is serving a 30-day jail sentence after pleading guilty to DUI manslaughter.
