Last Sunday, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane was arrested near Seattle for driving under the influence. After spending four hours in jail, Lane got a release from the King County and immediately took to Twitter to express his bewilderment at the arrest.
According to Smith, the alcohol content on his blood at the time of the arrest was at 0.03, which is below the legal limit. As it turns out, there was more in his system than just alcohol.
According to TMZ, Jeremy Lane told police during his arrest that he was not drunk, but he just had a joint prior to going behind the wheel.
Cops also say they could smell weed coming from Lane's 2006 Dodge Charger … and Lane admitted to smoking 3 hours before getting pulled over.
Lane agreed to several field tests and had trouble keeping his balance. He also agreed to a breathalyzer … which showed a BAC of .039 — as previously reported by Jeremy Lane himself.
When cops arrested Lane for DUI, the NFLer expressed concern over “people thinking he was drunk,” … and confessed “This time I was more high than anything.”
Lane was taken by the Seahawks in the sixth round of the 2012 NFL Draft. He signed a four-year, $23 million deal with Seattle last season. He played 13 games this season, collecting 31 combined tackles with zero interceptions. So far in his NFL career, Lane has 146 combined tackles, one forced fumble, and two interceptions.
Lane, a product of Northwestern State, is also 27, old enough to realize that it’s not right to drive under the influence of marijuana.
