Munich/Seattle – On Sunday night, Seattle Seahawks backup quarterback Geno Smith was arrested by police for driving under the influence of unlawful substances. Now officials have released a report with details.

According to the arrest report, the officer detected a “strong odour of intoxicants and noticed that the driver had bloodshot, watery eyes.” According to the report, Smith told the cops that he had drunk some wine after the win against the Arizona Cardinals, but stopped 90 minutes before he started driving.

The athlete refused a breathalyser test, which a judge ordered. Smith was subsequently taken to hospital. There, despite the presence of the Seahawks’ director of security, he became so upset about the pending blood test that he had to be handcuffed by the officers.

Currently, according to “ESPN”, the King County Prosecutor’s Office is still awaiting the results of the investigation, only then can a decision be made on possible charges.
