Denver Broncos Linebacker Charged with DUI

Denver Broncos Player DJ Williams Charged with DUI

Linebacker DJ Williams was arrested early Friday November 12th and charged with driving under the influence. Denver Police contacted Williams for driving his Hummer with the headlights off. A DUI investigation was conducted and the Denver Broncos football player was charged with DUI and driving with his headlights not on.

This is DJ Williams second time being charged with driving under the influence. In 2005 he was charged with DUI and accepted a plea bargain to DWAI. Being a second offense, the player will be subject to the new Colorado DUI laws which require mandatory jail for anyone convicted of a second alcohol related driving offense. A judge could approve the mandatory jail sentence being served as in home detention. Mr. Williams also faces a mandatory 2 years of probation, community service, alcohol education and treatment, and possible fines and court costs. His first appearance is scheduled for December 13th.
