Jarrett Jack G New Orleans Hornets


Former Georgia Tech star Jarrett Jack, current Hornets G who backs up All-Star Chris Paul, was arrested for DUI when he was pulled over for speeding early Sunday morning. Jack was pulled over in his black Mercedes going 66 in a 45 at around 4:00 AM Sunday morning. The officer paced his vehicle and determined that he was going faster than the speed limit, and then noticed him crossing the center lines and crossing the fog lines. When the car was stopped Jack smelled like alcohol, and then he took field sobriety tests which he clearly failed.

Next comes the tricky part. The breathalyzer in the jail was broken, so his BAC was not measured until 5:38 AM, and the test said = .079 -- .001 under the legal limit. Of course the alcohol leaves your body at a measurable amount per hour, and of course you can be charged with DUI, according to the article, if you are above .04 and are witnessed speeding and/or weaving. Jack is averaging 7.6 points/game and 2.8 assists/game backing up Paul.
