He had a decent season last year and was starting to shake the bust label.
Hopefully wake up call.
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey has been charged with drunken driving, SFGate.com reports. The charge from San Francisco’s district attorney was handed to him Wednesday, a little more than a month after California Highway Patrol arrested Heyward for an early morning incident on the Bay Bridge.
Heyward-Bey drew the attention of a highway patrol officer about 2 a.m. local time on April 7 when the player was driving in his Range Rover reportedly recklessly and over the speed limit. Although Heyward-Bey, the No. 7 overall pick in the 2009 draft, was reportedly “very cooperative” with law enforcement, he failed a field sobriety test, and that led to his citation.
