Detroit Lions president Tom Lewand blows .21; arrested for drunk driving

On the field, the Detroit Lions problems are well-known. 2 wins in 2 years and arguably the worst team in professional sports over the last decade. Off the field, things haven’t been exactly stellar either. Former president Matt Millen routinely put his foot in his mouth, one time even calling a player a fa–ot in front of hundreds of people. And former assistant coach Joe Cullen once drove naked through a Wendy’s drive thru. Apparently, he really liked his spicy chicken.
And now the Lions have yet another off-field gaffe to deal with. Over the weekend, team president Tom Lewand was arrested for driving under the influence. He blew a whopping .21 on a breathalyser at the police station. Impressive.
After being pulled over, Lewand had this to stay to the officers.
…Lewand told them he had not drank in a year and a half. He went on to say he was the designated driver and he had pulled into the Limberlost to pick a friend up and was headed to the “KOLO” dinner.
After failing a number of roadside sobriety tests, Lewand was placed under arrest and transported to jail.
Good to know that I’m not the only one who sounds like a dumbass when they get drunk. “Yea officers, excuse that putrid smell of whiskey that just came off my breath. I’m just the DD.”
That one works every time.
Breathalyzer tests show Tom Lewand’s blood alcohol content .21% at time of arrest {WXYZ}
