Early Report - Dante Stallworth Was Drunk

Today's front page article for the Miami Herald reports that Cleveland Browns wide reciever Dante Stallworth was drunk when he was behind the wheel of his Bentley on the MacArthur Causeway in Miami Beach when he struck and killed a 59 year old man. What the man was doing crossing the MacArthur Causeway (practically a highway - but does have a 40mph speed limit) without looking both ways is beyond me. Apparently he was just getting off of work as a crane operator, and was crossing the street to catch a bus ride home. How Dante Stallworth could not see him in time to avoid the crash is also a question. The bottom line is, tragically, a man's life has ended and another one has potentially ruined his promising career. This is the second time a DUI homicide has been committed in the last year here in south Florida by a professional athlete. Jim Leyritz, former professional Baseball player for the New York Yankees struck and killed a young woman in Fort Lauderdale less than a year ago.
