Broncos' Knowshon Moreno arrested for DUI

Posted by Michael David Smith on February 6, 2012, 7:36 PM EST

Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno was arrested last week for driving under the influence.

FOX 31 in Denver reports that Moreno was pulled over by Denver Police on February 1 for driving 70 miles an hour in a construction zone where the limit was 45 miles an hour. The officer smelled alcohol and Moreno failed a roadside sobriety test, according to the report. Moreno was driving a Bentley convertible with license plates reading "SAUCED."

The Broncos issued a statement acknowledging the arrest and saying they were looking into it.

"We take the incident involving Knowshon Moreno very seriously and are thoroughly reviewing this matter," the statement said. "Our organization will continue to gather information and closely monitor this issue while the legal process runs its course."

Moreno, the 12th overall pick in the 2009 NFL draft, is coming off a disappointing season in which he gained just 179 yards in seven games before being lost for the year to a torn ACL in November.

How many people here have posted that when athletes get tanked, they should just take a limo home?

Sounds like he understood part of the suggestion.

He probably blew most of his salary just to be able to afford the down payment on the Bentley.

That plate is amazing

I did not think his value could sink any lower. I was wrong.

SAUCED

A convertible Bentley probably isn't the best car to buy for a guy who might not get a second contract.

Moreno has been generously paid by the Broncos, to the tune of $9.9 million and counting. Pretty sure he can afford a $200K car although his recent play indicates that he should be planning for retirement.

He'll be broke within five years of his last NFL paycheck.

That effort through the work zone was his best run in two years.

 

[ldizzle]

at least he drives drunk like he plays football, nobody got ran over.

 

[zamboni]

Why didn't he just ask Fox to release him - didn't need to drive drunk to get the message across.

My favorite comment: The headline should read “Future Bengal Knowshon Moreno arrested for DUI.”

"want to know how the police caught him? They put a third down marker in front of his Bentley and he stopped!"
