Stallworth Facing 15 Years for DUI Manslaughter
Donte’ Stallworth’s NFL career could be over.
Stallworth will be charged with DUI manslaughter for killing a man with his vehicle while driving drunk last month. Stallworth’s blood alcohol content was .12, comfortably above the .08 limit in the state of Florida.
The charge would carry a maximum 15 years in prison if convicted. Stallworth is expected to surrender on Thursday to face the charges.
The incident occurred on March 14, when Stallworth struck and killed 59-year old construction worker Mario Reyes. Reyes was crossing the street to catch a bus home from work, and was not in a crosswalk.
Reports say that Stallworth flashed his lights at him to try to warn Reyes, and that he was traveling about 50 mph in a 40 mph zone.
Stallworth just finished his first year of a seven-year, $35 million contract with the Browns, but only played in 11 games due to injuries. He had just 17 catches in those 11 games.
