Bucs WR Mike Williams was arrested Friday morning in Hillsborough County on a DUI charge.

It’s horrible timing for a young 6-3 Bucs team, but there’s reason to believe that Williams will beat the rap. Two tests found his blood-alcohol level to be .065 and .061, below the limit of .08 in Florida. Williams remains in jail as of Friday morning and further tests are being conducted. The fourth-rounder was considered a first-round talent, but he fell due to a litany of off-field concerns at Syracuse. Nov. 19 - 8:02 am et

Further tests?  Crap, he’s gonna get grounded for smokin’ the green stuff, isn’t he?  raspberry
Edit: NVM….Schefter said TB sources claim he’ll be starting on Sunday.  Doesn’t appear authorities suspect drug use.

I prefer to multi-source stories before I post them to avoid spreading misleading information and/or half-baked (as Williams may well have been) stories, however I can understand the excitement to get the word out about Williams.

Here’s what we know:

Williams was originally pulled over for speeding - 12 miles over the speed limit to be exact. He was brought in to the station for a urine sample which is done if a police office suspects that a driver is impaired by a substance OTHER THAN ALCOHOL. Multiple breath tests confirmed that Williams’ blood alcohol level was under the legal limit (0.08). If the urine test results determine that Williams was using a substance other than alcohol, then he could face additional charges down the road. For now, he’s looking at a speeding ticket. 

The Buccaneers stated that Williams will travel with the team to San Francisco and start as planned against the 49ers.
