Former NBA Star Jayson Williams Charged With DWI In New York

It is being reported that Former NBA player Jayson Williams – who is no stranger to the criminal justice system- has been charged with driving while intoxicated following an accident involving his SUV on the FDR early this morning in Manhattan. Williams was reportedly in the passenger seat when the police arrived and told police someone else had been driving. Consequently, the People may have attempt to rely upon alleged eye witness testimony and any physical evidence in the vehicle to attempt to prove the critical element of operation. If unsuccessful, Williams is looking at another possible acquittal. Williams has only been charged with Driving While Intoxicated and should be presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
