Former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Vince Young was arrested on Sunday night and charged with one count of driving while intoxicated. The Austin Police Department made the arrest according to the Austin American-Statesman. Young was taken to Travis County Jail early Monday, according to the jail’s records. His bond is set at $2,000.
It all started at around 11:30 p.m. on January 24. In an affidavit, an Austin police officer reports that he saw a 2016 whtie Chevy Silverado at a red light while northbound at the intersection of the 600 block of I-35 Service Road and 6th Street.
The officer followed the vehicle for a short time as it moved north. The driver of the Chevy then entered onto 35 at the 1500 block without signaling intent to change lanes.
The affidavit states that the officer noticed the driver drifting within its lane at varying speeds.
APD tells FOX 7 that the vehicle was pulled over at an empty parking lot near 51st Street and that’s when the sobriety tests were administered.
The officer in the affidavit states that Young had a “strong” alcoholic beverage odor and was “swaying” with “glassy” eyes and that his speech was “mumbled, slurred.”
The affidavit states that Young admitted to drinking at least three or four bottles of beer before driving and also misstated the time of the arrest.
The affidavit says that Young was “polite” but “uncooperative.”
Let’s hope Young gets the help he needs. As was the case with Donovan McNabb, an issue like this isn’t easy to kick, nor is it one to be taken lightly.

“Whtie”? Who wrote that article, Jim Adair?
