NFL player Stallworth was legally drunk during fatal accident, source says

By JENNIFER LEBOVICH AND DAVID OVALLE


Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte' Stallworth was driving drunk last weekend when he struck and killed a pedestrian with his Bentley in Miami Beach, a source with knowledge of the investigation told The Miami Herald.

The source said blood alcohol tests showed Stallworth was above the legal limit. Miami Herald news partner WFOR-CBS4 reported that Stallworth's blood alcohol level was .14. The legal limit is .08.

Miami Beach police would not confirm whether the blood tests were complete, saying the results would not be released until their investigation is complete.

''We have not released anything regarding the blood work,'' said Jenny Velazquez, a police spokeswoman. ``We're not confirming anything.''

No charges have been filed against Stallworth, 28, who is cooperating with detectives investigating Saturday morning's fatal crash on the MacArthur Causeway near South Beach.

Struck and killed was Mario Reyes, 59, who was getting off work as an overnight crane operator and trying to cross the street to catch a bus home just after 7 a.m. He died at the scene.
