Former NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb was arrested for driving under the influence last week, according to Tom Ley from Deadspin.
McNabb's vehicle rear-ended another car at a stoplight June 28 in Gilbert, Ariz. Here is the statement from the Gilbert Police Department:
At approximately 2335 hours, officers responded to a non-injury collision involving two vehicles which occurred just west of the intersection at E Chandler Heights Rd and S Higley Rd in Gilbert, AZ. Subsequent investigation revealed Donovan McNabb (11/25/76) was impaired by alcohol and collided in a rear-end fashion with another vehicle which was stopped at a red traffic signal. Donovan was arrested for DUI at 2358 hours and transported to the Gilbert/Chandler Unified Holding Facility for processing, after which, he was cited and released.
It's McNabb's second arrest for DUI, as he reportedly spent a night in jail in January 2014 for the same infraction and now faces a mandatory 90 days in an Arizona jail, if convicted.
The 38-year-old retired in 2011 after 13 seasons, 11 of which came with the Philadelphia Eagles.
McNabb has released a statement through ProFootballTalk, saying:
There was a story that was released, and I want everybody to be cognizant of it, because I am very aware of it, handling the matter at this particular point. But at this point, I have no further information, and as we continue on with the situation, then we’ll let it handle as it will handle itself.
