Lions rookie Jordon Dizon was arrested April 20 on suspicion of drunk driving, driving the wrong way on a one-way street and failure to provide insurance, the Boulder Colo. Daily Camera newspaper reported on its Web site late Monday night.
Dizon was arrested six days before the Detroit Lions drafted him in the second round of the NFL draft.
The arrest received no media attention.
The Daily Camera reported, citing a police report, Dizon’s blood-alcohol level was 0.097, above the legal limit of 0.08. Dizon has pleaded not guilty to the charges. He is scheduled to appear in a Boulder County Court on Aug. 18 and has a trial set for Oct. 21.
