Latest news updates about Carlos Dunlap :-Carlos Dunlap DUI: Arrested Gator Charged With Driving Under The Influence.
Florida star defensive end Carlos Dunlap was arrested and charged with drunken driving early Tuesday morning in Gainesville. Dunlap is a projected first-round NFL draft pick and is currently the Gators’ sack leader on defense.
According to reports suggest Carlos Dunlap was found passed out behind the wheel of his car at a Gainesville intersection, failed field sobriety tests once awakened, and refused a breathalyzer. Carlos Dunlap was later released on his own recognizance.
One figures Dunlap will certainly be suspended for Saturday’s SEC title game in Atlanta, especially after the heat Florida coach Urban Meyer received in the offseason over numerous disciplinary issues concerning his players.
A DUI is a very serious offense, but Dunlap’s decision to be out drinking in the middle of the night only a few days before the season’s biggest game will certainly be questioned by team officials, fans and NFL scouts.
