Reuters, ATLANTA: New Orleans Hornets' reserve guard Jarrett Jack has been charged with drunken driving in an Atlanta suburb, police said Monday.
Jack was pulled over early Sunday after an officer in Snellville, Georgia, clocked Jack driving 66 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone northeast of Atlanta.
The officer charged Jack with driving under the influence of alcohol, speeding and failure to stay in one lane, according to Snellville police chief Roy Whitehead.
"He (the officer) stopped the vehicle and smelled an odor of an alcoholic beverage on the driver. He gave the driver field sobriety tests and he failed," Whitehead said in an email.
Jack, 27, went to Georgia Tech and was drafted in the first round of the 2005 NBA Draft by the Denver Nuggets. He played with the Portland Trail Blazers, Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors before joining the Hornets in 2010.
