The Sun Sentinel reported today that, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth was driving drunk — blood alcohol tests showed he was over the legal limit — last weekend when he struck and killed a pedestrian with his Bentley in Miami Beach, a source with knowledge of the investigation told The Miami Herald. Miami Beach police would not confirm Stallworth had a blood alcohol level above the legal limit when his car struck Mario Reyes."We have not released anything regarding the blood work," said Jenny Velazquez, a Miami Beach police spokeswoman. "We're not confirming anything." WSVN-Ch. 7 reported Thursday that Stallworth's blood alcohol level was .12. The legal limit is .08.

No charges have been filed against Stallworth, 28. Robert Switkes, Stallworth's civil attorney, said he had not seen the toxicology report. "I have not seen them, and I have no comment," he said. Stallworth, who is cooperating with police, issued a statement Wednesday expressing his condolences to Reyes' family.
