Byfuglien is facing four charges that include boating while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. The documents detailing the charges say an officer had stopped the boat on Lake Minnetonka because the craft was operating without proper lights.
"Mr. Byfuglien's speech was slurred, he was unsteady on his feet, his eyes were bloodshot and watery and he smelled of a consumed alcoholic beverage," says the arresting officer's statement, obtained by The Canadian Press. "Mr. Byfuglien was unable to successfully perform field sobriety tests as requested."
The documents say Byfuglien submitted to a breathalyzer test and registered .03, which is within the legal limit. But "based on his observations," the officer decided Byfuglien was under the influence of something and placed him under arrest.
"Mr. Byfuglien stated that he had taken a muscle relaxer earlier that day, but that he could not remember the name of the muscle relaxer," the documents say. "Mr. Byfuglien stated that he takes a 'handful' of supplements from 16 or 17 different bottles every day and that he does not know the names of the supplements."
Byfuglien refused to give a blood or urine sample, but was examined by a police drug recognition expert. Byfuglien's pulse rate was high, as was his blood pressure. His eyes were watery and he had a "distinct brown stain on his tongue," according to the expert.
