GILBERT, Ariz. (AP) - Tank Johnson's blood alcohol level was below the legal limit when the former Chicago Bears tackle was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving June 22.
Johnson's blood alcohol level was .072, under the presumptive limit in Arizona of .08 percent, police Sgt. Andrew Duncan said Monday. No charges have been filed pending results of a completed investigation.
Johnson, whose legal name is Terry Darnell Johnson, was arrested when officers pulled him over at 3:30 a.m. for driving 40 mph in a 25 mph zone. Duncan said an officer placed him under arrest because he believed Johnson was under the influence of alcohol. He was released without being booked or charged after providing a blood sample, and police said he was very cooperative.
The 25-year-old player was released by the Bears three days after his arrest. The team said it was "upset and embarrassed" by the defensive tackle's legal troubles.

esp in this thugs case. i really wish the nfl would crack down on repeat offenders.

any word yet how much cincinnati is gonna offer him next year?

I wouldn't really call being .08 below the legal limit really innocent either. Hell, you could burp and let go .08. The dumbass should have know not to be out almost drunk with all he had going on anyway.

I know the guy wasn't legally drunk, but do you know how many drinks it takes to make a 300lb man drunk? He might not have been legally drunk, but he had been throwing back more than just a couple with the boys.

he was driving slightly impaired.

The bears cut him for being out at 330am, drinking, and doing whatever he was doing. He knew better than to put himself in that situation to begin with. .072 is so close to .08 for anyone to be risking millions of dollars for, that he just shouldnt have been there or risked it.

He didnt do anything wrong, but he didnt do anything right, or good either.

Edit: The 40 in a 25 still stands from what I understand. He's still going to pay the traffic ticket.

Apparently it does...the Bears cut him. If you have been suspended by the NFL, the last thing you should be doing is out drinking until the wee hours of the morning. I was simply saying that a man of that size was doing some pretty heavy drinking to blow a .072%. Just because he wasn't legally drunk doesn't mean he had a beer or two for dinner. You do know that BAC is calculated by drinks per hour and body weight, right?

I know what BlueWahooChamber is sayin though. He was simply statin that if I were to drink 2 beers to get to a .072 and yolu drank 8 to get to .072. Nuttin matters about how many he drank b/c a .072 is a .072 no matter how many beers it took to get there. Just because you had more beers than I would have had does not mean you are any more drunk than me if we blew the same thing.

He should have not chanced it being under the microscope by the league or by the Bears, but he chanced it and he got caught. Now he is payin for it.
