SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP)—Authorities say Notre Dame star wide receiver Michael
Floyd had a blood-alcohol level of more than twice the legal limit for
driving when he was pulled over by campus police this past weekend.
Floyd was stopped after he ran a stop sign with the white Cadillac he was
driving and was charged with suspicion of drunken driving.
St. Joseph County deputy prosecutor Chris Daniels says in a probable cause
affidavit filed Monday that Floyd had a blood-alcohol level of 0.19 percent.
Indiana’s legal limit for driving is 0.08 percent. Daniels also says Floyd
failed three field sobriety tests.
Floyd was stopped near the school’s main entrance at 3:18 a.m. Sunday and
charged with a misdemeanor count of operating a motor vehicle while
intoxicated. It carries a maximum sentence of a year in jail.
The Associated Press sent an e-mail to Floyd seeking comment. The school
says it is aware of the incident.
