Detroit Lions second-round linebacker Jordon Dizon was arrested on April 20th, six days before the 2008 NFL Draft, on suspicion of drunk driving, driving the wrong way on a one-way street and failure to provide insurance.
Dizon has plead not guilty to the charges, and the Boulder Daily Camera reports that BAC was 0.097, above Colorado's legal limit of .08.
Dizon is apologetic about the incident: “I was very polite to the officer. I did everything he asked me to and I acted like a man. It’s a bad situation and I’m sorry that it happened.”
Despite the arrest occurring before he entered the NFL, he would still be subject to discipline under the NFL's Personal Conduct policy. For a first offense, it's possible that he could be fined 1/17th of his 2008 salary, which would likely amount to $17,352,94.
