Superbowl, Homeboy!
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle Wendall Bryant is due to appear in Dane County Circuit Court Thursday on drunken driving charges.
University of Wisconsin-Madison police arrested Bryant, a former Wisconsin star who still lives near campus, on June 27.
Police say a caller reported a reckless driver around 4:30 a.m. and the vehicle was parked near a convenience store. Police said they found the car, which then left the store and ran a flashing red light.
The car was traveling about 45 mph in a 25-mph zone before they stopped it, police said.
Bryant was issued citations for operating under the influence, speeding, failing to stop for a flashing red light and operating a vehicle with a prohibited alcohol concentration of .10 percent or more. The legal limit in Wisconsin is 0.08 percent.
The 6-foot-4, 310-pound Bryant started 37 games for Wisconsin. He had 24 sacks in his career -- fifth all-time for the Badgers -- and 41 of his 189 tackles were for a loss.
He was the 12th overall pick in the 2002 NFL draft. In two seasons with the Cardinals, he has played in 26 games, recording 38 tackles and 1 1/2 sacks.
UW-Madison police said they had no further information when contacted by The Associated Press on Saturday. Bryant's number was unlisted.
