Carmelo Anthony's blood alcohol level nearly twice legal limit

Denver Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony's blood alcohol level was nearly twice the legal limit for driving under the influence when Denver police arrested him earlier this month, a CBS4 investigation found.

CBS4's Brian Maass reported that Anthony's blood alcohol level registered .148 percent, according to multiple sources familiar with the results of Anthony's blood test. The legal limit for DUI in Colorado is .08 percent.

Denver police arrested Anthony on April 14 after seeing his car swerving as it traveled southbound on Interstate 25.

Police said he failed all roadside sobriety tests, although he told officers that he only had "two glasses of red wine" at a downtown Denver restaurant before the DUI stop. According to the Nuggets Web site, Anthony is 6 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 230 pounds.

"We received notice that Carmelo's blood test came back over the legal limit. This is old news, in that Carmelo has admitted from the beginning that he had been drinking and driving and should not have been," Anthony's attorney, Dan Recht, told CBS4.

"Carmelo has said he will take responsibility for his actions, and he does. Carmelo continues to be deeply disappointed in himself, as (he) has said before. Carmelo's actions that night were completely out of character and something he has never done before," Recht said.

First-time offenders in Colorado typically lose their driver's license for at least three months when their blood alcohol level exceeds the legal limit for DUI.

What a fuck-up.

well nuggets are gonna be re-building this offseason, and were not sure yet whether or not theyre still gonna focus it around melo. hes young and talented, but people with his personality ALWAYS ended up getting traded after a certain amount of years anyways, and the nuggets might just say fuck it and blow the whole thing up.

one things for sure though, melo isnt a leader, and he needs to have a real leader around for him to finally grow up.
