Williams picked up on suspicion of drunken driving
MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee point guard Kaylon Williams was arrested early Wednesday morning in his hometown of Cedar Rapids on suspicion of drunken driving after he fled a traffic stop and was later taken down by a K-9 unit, authorities said.
Sgt. Cristy Hamblin of the Cedar Rapids Police Department told The Associated Press that Williams drew the attention of officers after he was spotted driving without a front license plate, which is illegal in Iowa.
According to authorities, Williams pulled over, then drove off when the officer approached. He then missed a turn and went off the road, authorities said.
"Once he got up into the grass, the driver, which was later identified as Williams, got out of the vehicle and took off running on foot," Hamblin said.
An officer followed Williams, but couldn't catch up to him. A K-9 unit in the area found a suspect matching Williams' description two blocks away and picked up the pursuit.
"The dog tackled him, didn't bite him or anything, but at that time he was arrested," Hamblin said.
A criminal complaint said Williams, 22, had a blood-alcohol content of 0.228, nearly three times the legal limit in Iowa.
