DAVIE, Fla. (AP) … Miami Dolphins safety Quintin Williams
was arrested on DUI and drag racing charges Thursday after he
was stopped while driving 111 mph on an interstate with
teammate and passenger Travares Tillman.
Williams was near the team's practice facility in Davie,
Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Bill Ferrell said. Troopers also
pulled over a car that had been racing Williams. Troopers then
approached Williams' car and suspected he might have been
drinking, Ferrell said.
After a roadside DUI test, Williams was taken to a Broward
Sheriff's Office facility where his blood-alcohol level was
.087 percent, above Florida's legal limit of .08 percent,
Ferrell said.
Williams was charged with DUI, racing on a highway and
unlawful speeding, Ferrell said. He did not know if Williams
remained jailed.
The driver of the other car, Brandy Lynn Richards, was
charged with unlawful speeding and racing on a highway because
she was going 109 mph on the interstate, Ferrell said. Tillman,
who was riding with Williams, was not charged and allowed to
ride home with Richards, who was cited but not arrested,
Ferrell added.
Ferrell said Richards identified herself as a Dolphins
cheerleader to a supervisor on the scene of the traffic stop,
but team spokesman Harvey Greene said a person by that name was
not a Dolphins cheerleader.
