Edwards arrested on DWI charge
Updated Sep 21, 2010 9:34 AM ET
New York Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards has been arrested in Manhattan on a charge of driving while intoxicated.
A law enforcement official tells The Associated Press that Edwards was pulled over on the west side of Manhattan around 5:15 a.m. Tuesday because his vehicle had excessive tinting on its windows. The official says police noticed a strong smell of alcohol and arrested Edwards. The official was not authorized to speak about the case and spoke on condition of anonymity.
In January, Edwards was put on probation after pleading no contest to misdemeanor aggravated disorderly conduct in Cleveland.
Edwards was expected to be arraigned later Tuesday.
"We are very disappointed in Braylon's actions this morning," Mike Tannenbaum, general manager of the Jets, said in a statement on the team's website. "The Player Protect program is in place for our organization to prevent this situation. Braylon is aware of this program and showed poor judgment.
"We are reviewing the information with the league and will impose the appropriate disciplinary measures."
