Former Packers star Eddie Lacy is accused of having a BAC of .325 during a DUI arrest in Arizona last month.
Scottsdale police told TMZ that a woman called 911 to report a vehicle matching the description of Lacy’s Audi SUV was driving erratically.
“I was on the highway for a couple of miles following him. He could not stay in his lane,” the woman said.
“Speeds up. Slams on the breaks. He’s going to kill somebody.”
When the dispatcher asked the 911 caller if she thought the driver was intoxicated, she responded, “Well he’s on something because he can’t drive straight.”
Lacy, 34, was pulled over shortly thereafter.
“Eddie’s speech was slow,” an officer reportedly wrote in the arrest report, “slurred and mumbled as soon as I began talking to him.”
Body cam footage of Lacy showed that he told police he was “not out of pocket.”
He said that he had just flown in from Wisconsin after making an appearance in Green Bay, and that he had just one drink — a single shot of tequila — on the flight.
After being asked to step out of the vehicle and complying, Lacy motioned he lived very close by.
Lacy was ultimately charged with “Extreme DUI — BAC .20 or more.”
Lacy had a promising start to his career with the Packers after starring at Alabama, winning the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year award in 2013.
In his first two NFL seasons, Lacy gained more than 3,000 combined yards from scrimmage and scored 24 touchdowns.
However, his production with the Packers fell off in 2015 and 2016, and his NFL career concluded after spending 2017 with the Seahawks.
