NFL star arrested after being found ‘slumped over’ at the wheel in the middle of highway



Newly uncovered court records reveal that former Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders was arrested on DUI charges this past June in the Pittsburgh area.

Sanders, a Pittsburgh native, was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance and careless driving on June 8 in Churchill Borough, CBS Pittsburgh reports.

The outlet cited official court records, which also reveal that police found marijuana in Sanders’ car.

According to the criminal complaint, an officer found Sanders ‘slumped over’ while in the drivers seat of a Lexus found in the middle of William Penn Highway.

Officers claim they attempted to wake Sanders, but the 29-year-old was ‘in and out of consciousness’ and presented as ‘extremely lethargic,’ according to CBS Pittsburgh.

Sanders also ‘performed poorly’ on field sobriety tests and tested positive for alcohol, according to police. He was taken into custody and has a court date in September.  

A statement from Sanders’ agent, Phil DiLucente, read, “This is a private matter that has not even reached the preliminary hearing stage and there will be no further comment.’
