DENVERDenver Nuggets star forward Carmelo Anthony was arrested Monday morning for suspicion of driving under the influence.
Denver police stated that Anthony was driving south on Interstate 25 roughly around 4 a.m. when he was pulled over and taken into custody. Investigators said he was driving a silver Mercedes that was stopped for failing to drive in a single lane and failing to dim lights.
Carmelo was pulled over late Sunday night on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, said Anthonys lawyer Dan Recht in a statement. He cooperated by consenting to a *lo** test, the results of which will not be available for approximately two weeks. There was no accident and no one was hurt.
Like anyone in a similar situation, Carmelo has to wait for the results of his *lo** test. He regrets putting himself in this situation.
Anthony was released on bond Monday morning on his own recognizance. A summons appearance was scheduled for May 14.
We are aware of the situation involving Carmelo Anthony, said Nuggets vice president of basketball operations Mark Warkentien in a prepared statement. We are currently gathering information and we will have no further comment at this time.
The Nuggets defeated the Houston Rockets, 111-94, on Sunday. Anthony scored just 11 points on 3-of-14 shooting and was limited to 25 minutes by foul trouble.
