Donte Stallworth Facing Manslaughter, DUI.....

Cleveland wide receiver Donte Stallworth is making headlines this week and for all the wrong reasons. Last weekend, Stallworth was driving to Miami beach in his luxurious Bentley when he hit and killed 59 year old Mario Reyes, a pedestrian crossing the street. Initial reports were unclear as to whether Stallworth was under the influence of drugs or alcohol and whether the Reyes had crossed at a legally designated crosswalk. But today, many major media outlets are forecasting the worst for Stallworth.

A report that has surfaced, but has yet to be officially confirmed, shows that Stallworth had a Blood Alcohol Level of .12, which is above the legal limit of .08 in Miami, Florida. Stallworth already admitted to drinking a few margaritas and shots of patron the night before, but claims he stopped drinking at midnight. Regardless of when he stopped drinking, if this report turns out to be accurate, criminal charges are almost a guarantee.

The question for prosecutors in Miami will be whether to charge Stallworth with manslaughter. If they decide to go this route, Stallworth could be facing penalties upwards of 15 years in prison. 

The investigation is obviously ongoing and the Miami District Attorney's Office has yet to confirm this damaging report, but I can assure you, if this report is accurate, Donte Stallworth's career in the NFL is in serious jeopardy.
