Marcus Johnson an offensive lineman with the Buccaneers, a Tampa Bay football team was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol.After a police lieutenant found Johnson sleeping in a 2010 Impala close to the Bucs' stadium, an immediate arrest was made. Johnsons' breath smelled like alcohol according to a DUI investigator who responded to the scene. It was also noted by police that Johnson had glassy eyes and swayed when standing up unsupported. Johnson was arrested and released on bail.
Tampa Bay Buccaneer officials stated that Johnson has been released from the team.
Research has shown that every police report generated after a DUI arrest indicates that there was "a strong odor of alcohol and that the suspect had glassy eyes." A good criminal defense attorney would point out that an officer would not know what the suspect's eyes would be like normally, or how they would speak with or without alcohol.
The police lieutenant stated that he woke the 27-year-old football player, as the lieutenant found him sleeping in his car. Johnson was noted as swaying when standing up. What has failed to be mentioned is that there are numerous reasons as to why someone would sway upon standing up after a deep sleep. Grogginess and disorientation are more common on awakening than one would realize. Diminished memory, counting skills and cognitive abilities during the groggy period upon awakening are common symptoms with sleep inertia. A police officer would not know the sleeping habits of the subject.
