Redick arrested on DUI charges

J.J. Redick's mug shot after his DUI arrest.
DURHAM -- Duke All-American basketball player J.J. Redick was arrested Monday night on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol.

Officers had a license checkpoint station set up in Durham Monday night at South LaSalle Street and Kangaroo Drive, near Duke Manor.

Shortly before 1 a.m. Tuesday, officers said a 2005 Toyota SUV approached the checkpoint and then the driver made an illegal U-turn away from the checkpoint.

A police officer followed the Toyota, which then turned into the parking lot of the Belmont Apartments on McQueen Drive.

The driver that got out of the vehicle was J.J. Redick. Redick blew a .11 BAC after he parked his vehicle, and officers then charged him with a DUI and unsafe movement of a vehicle for the illegal U-turn.

There were several passengers in Redick's car, but their names are not known at this time.

Redick has been released on a $1,000 cash bond.

Redick was the Associated Press National Player of the Year, the 2006 selection for the Wooden Award as college basketball's best player, and a two-time ACC Player of the Year selection.

He is Duke's all-time leading scorer and made more 3-pointers in his career than any other Blue Devil. He finished his four-year playing career with 2,769 points and 457 3-pointers.

Redick averaged almost 27 points per game and is expected to be taken in the first round of the 2006 NBA Draft.

Most mock drafts, including this one from NBADraft.net, have Redick going with the 14th selection to the Utah Jazz, but his DUI could drop him out of the NBA Draft lottery.

One Eastern Conference general manager told ESPN.com, "I think that these things hurt anybody's draft status. They do in my eyes. I take these things seriously. That's too bad."

Utah is a Western Conference team, as are Seattle, Houston and Golden State, the four teams Redick has worked out for leading up to the draft.

what a dumbass....as soon as he pulled into the parking lot I'd have someone switch seats with me "I'll pay for your ticket & break you off a few thousand once I'm in the league"

with the cop trailing him and watching - i think this manuever would be rather difficult besides quite obvious

So you're saying character is not an issue? The teams are gonna pay these players millions of dollars - I believe they try and choose wisley and a DUI is definitely a red flag. These players are under a microscope until they're drafted so anything they do is studied. Yeah the league has probably of ton of DUI's but they occur after they signed their guaranteed contract. In the NFL, look at Marcus Vick. He had first round talent, but didn't get drafted cause his bad attitude.

Redick is a dumbass. He knew he should stay out of trouble and look what happens.

Dude did u just compare the many horrible things Marcus Vick has done to a JJ Redick DUI??? get a grip


and character is a very very very small part. a DUI is nothin to people in the leauge. its not like there is a history of him doin it.... if this was his 2nd or 3rd time, then yes it would be an issue
