Miami receiver Chambers arrested for DWI in Charlotte
July 14, 2007
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Miami Dolphins wide receiver Chris Chambers was arrested early Saturday on charges of driving while impaired and speeding.
Chambers, 28, was arrested by Charlotte-Mecklenburg police around 2:30 a.m., several miles south of downtown, said police Capt. Lisa Goelz. He faces charges of driving while impaired, speeding, and reckless driving, she said.
He was later released on a $1,750 bond, according to Goelz. No other details were available.
Chambers, Miami's top receiver, began his NFL career with the Dolphins in 2001. He played in the Pro Bowl after the 2005 season.
"We recently learned about this and are in the process of gathering more information," Dolphins spokesman Harvey Greene said.
A spokesperson for Chambers couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

Come on. How many arrests does it take for the players to understand that staying out past midnight is NOT a good idea? And I thought Chris Chambers was a pretty smart, mature guy.

I'm thinking it's cause they don't think they can get in trouble and when caught that there fame will get them out of it, just my opinion.

He can afford to BUY the cab, limo or what ever. He could call the local police and they would drive him home being an NFL player. Just stupid

They have to be seen in their high dollar cruising machines. A taxi cab doesn't fill that "I have to be noticed" need.
You know what they say, BIG SUV

Chambers passes breath test in DWI arrest (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/football/pro/dolphins/sfl-716chambers,0,63668.story)

Dolphins receiver Chris Chambers passed a breathalyzer test at the police station after his Saturday morning arrest for driving while impaired, reckless driving and speeding, according to sources.
According to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, Chambers was taken into custody at 2:31 a.m. Saturday. He was released on $1,750 bond Saturday afternoon, and is scheduled to appear in court today at 1 p.m. He has been working out in North Carolina in preparation for training camp, to which veterans must report on July 27.
Saturday, Mecklenburg Capt. Lisa Goelz said there are no police reports for traffic violations, and Dolphins spokesman Harvey Greene said the franchise was "in the process of gathering more information."
Chambers, sixth on the Dolphins all-time receptions list, had never faced any legal trouble since joining the franchise in 2001.
He is not the first Dolphin to encounter some this offseason, however.
Defensive tackle Fred Evans, who was expected to see significant playing time, was arrested on Miami Beach on June 23 for disorderly conduct, resisting arrest with violence, battery on a police officer and trespassing. The Dolphins released Evans five days later. The team's prized free agent acquisition, linebacker Joey Porter, was arrested in March for punching Bengals tackle Levi Jones in a Las Vegas casino.
Staff writer Omar Kelly contributed to this report.
